But second on Obama's agenda was the aim of expanding "hate crimes" statutes.
"President Obama and Vice President Biden will strengthen federal hate crimes legislation, expand hate crimes protection by passing the Matthew Shepard Act, and reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice's Criminal Section," the agenda says.
Other high priorities are to end deceptive voting practices and end racial profiling, but Obama's agenda then returns to the issue of special support for homosexuality.
Many states already have "hate crimes" legislation. A couple running a photography studio in New Mexico faced thousands of dollars in fines for their decision not to provide photography services to a pair of lesbians because of the Christian beliefs of the studio owners. In Pennsylvania, a 75-year-old grandmother was threatened with prison for advocating a biblical perspective of homosexuality.
Internationally, Christians in several nations have been penalized for stating a biblically based condemnation of homosexuality.
Former White House insider Chuck Colson, in his Breakpoint commentary, has called such proposals "Thought Crimes" plans.
Jackson-Lee also has proposed a companion piece of legislation that would "provide support services for victims of hate crimes."
The measure been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary as well as the Committees on Ways and Means, Energy and Commerce, Education and Labor, Oversight and others.
It allows victims of "hate crimes" to take federally authorized family and medical leave and collect unemployment insurance, creates grants for housing for such victims and provides counseling and "related assistance."
Also check out Obongo's civil rights agenda on the new whitehouse page. He wasted no time throwing up all over it.
