Billy Jean King Makes Clear She’s Supporting Obama
Billy Jean King made it clear without a doubt that she is supporting Sen. Barack Obama for president.
Last Friday, a reporter from the New York Observer asked me what I thought about Sarah Palin. I told her I thought Sarah Palin was honest and real. I believe that. But, that in no way should be viewed as an endorsement of any kind. I oppose many of the positions of Sarah Palin, particularly those tied to the LGBT community. I am supporting Barack Obama and, in fact, I have lent my name to both Women for Obama and the Obama LGBT Steering and Policy Committee.
King is one of many openly LGBT celebrities who have publicly stated their strong support for Sen. Obama because of Obama’s strong support for LGBT civil rights.
