Obama releases powerful LGBT campaign video

President Barack Obama released a terrific new campaign video today highlighting his record on LGBT issues.

The video, narrated by Glee star Jane Lynch, includes footage from Obama’s recent interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts during which he publicly supported gay marriage as well as video of his It Gets Better video and footage from his appearance at the Human Rights Campaign dinner a few years ago.

‘I don’t think it’s been a single moment where LGBT issues became important to me,’ he says in an interview done for the video. ‘It’s the accumulation of a lifetime of friends and family and people I’ve gotten to know who have helped me understand how the fight for LGBT rights is consistent with that most important part of America’s character which is to constantly expand opportunity and fairness to everyone.’
