Barack Obama actually said...

"The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States' commitment to promoting human rights."

"I will veto any effort to delay or defund or dismantle the new rules that we put in place."

"That’s how America was built."

"I urge all states to sign and ratify the agreement so that it can be brought into force at the earliest possible date."
