Obama on Air Force Graduation: ‘We Saw Cadets Applauding Classmates Who Are Openly Gay’

‘Those are the values that ISILS is trying to destroy and we should not help them do it’

"We saw cadets, who are straight, applauding classmates who were openly gay.  We saw cadets, born here in America, applauding classmates who are immigrants and love this country so much they decided they wanted to be part of our armed forces.  We saw cadets and families of all religions applaud cadets who are proud, patriotic Muslim Americans serving their country in uniform, ready to lay their lives on the line to protect you and to protect me.  We saw male cadets applauding for female classmates, who can now serve in combat positions."
