Obama to address one LGBT issue that remains outstanding since the start
of his administration in 2009: the lack of federal non-discrimination

Non-Discrimination Act."
"Catholic bishops, with the support of evangelicals and other
theological conservatives, have sent a letter to Obama protesting his
proposal. In a sign of the sensitivity of the issue, the U.S. Conference
of Catholic Bishops would not provide a copy of the statement, saying

Walsh, a spokeswoman for the bishops, would say only that recognition of
gay couples in the president's reform proposals 'jeopardizes passage of
the bill.'"
