In a State of the Union first, Obama acknowledges LGBT community

President Barack Obama made history Tuesday in his State of the Union address, becoming the first president to refer directly to the lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities during his speech. "As Americans, we respect human dignity, even when we're threatened," Obama said. "That's why we defend free speech, and advocate for political prisoners, and condemn the persecution of women, or religious minorities, or people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender."
