White House Egg Role - Gay Civil Rights

  • "The president of the United States understands that we're just another family like anybody else," said Kim Bergman of Los Angeles, who traveled to Washington with her partner, Natalie Bergman, and their two daughters Abby, 13, and Jenna, 10.


    "He gets that this country is not all one type of person. We're just part of the fabric of the country and we just love that the fabric is patchwork."


    When asked what most excited her about attending the egg roll, Abby said, "the feeling that Obama actually wants us here."


    Representatives from Family Equality Council, Human Rights Campaign, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and other groups confirmed earlier that they were invited and encouraged to have their members participate.


    The White also made tickets available on the Internet and through the offices of Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
