第一夫人在演讲的最后一部分，也正是演讲的高潮部分，把同性恋爱作为美国梦的一部分，和移民，妇女运动，民权运动等一起提出，并没有用同性恋这个词，而是用了 proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love，这在美国政治历史上还是第一次。

同性恋平权运动已经进行了好多年，但是真正的被美国政客公正的对待还是要从今年早些时候美国副总统Joe Biden 公开支持同性婚姻开始，几周后美国总统奥巴马进而表明全力支持同性恋婚姻的立场，上个月美国民主党更是把支持同性婚姻写入了党章。而第一夫人前几天在民主党选举动员大会上，这样提到同性恋更加表明了美国民主党的态度。


目前来看，民主党Obama有相当大的连任可能，一旦连任，同性婚姻在美国立法通过指日可待，鉴于美国在全球的影响力，必将会影响很多其他国家对待同性婚姻和同性恋的态度。


以下是第一夫人演讲的节选：（超级精彩）


Barack knows the American Dream because he's lived it...and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are, or where we're from, or what we look like, or who we love.

If farmers and blacksmiths could win independence from an empire...if immigrants could leave behind everything they knew for a better life on our shores...if women could be dragged to jail for seeking the vote...if a generation could defeat a depression, and define greatness for all time...if a young preacher could lift us to the mountaintop with his righteous dream...and if proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.
