Watch what President Obama had to say at his last LGBT Pride reception at The White House

President Barack Obama has done more for LGBT equality than any president in US history. That’s a fact. During his years in office, same-sex marriage became legal, Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was abolished and his administration has made equal rights for transgender people a priority. Here is part of what he said yesterday at The White House during his final LGBT Pride Reception: “So some folks never imagined we’d come this far — maybe even some in this room. Change can be slow. And I know that there have been times where at least some of the people in this room have yelled at me. But together, we’ve proven that change is possible, that progress is possible. It’s not inevitable, though. History doesn’t just travel forward; it can go backwards if we don’t work hard. So we can’t be complacent. We cannot be complacent. Securing the gains this country has made requires perseverance and vigilance. And it requires voting. Because we’ve got more work to do.”
