by Christina Lovato, University of New Mexico-Talk Radio News Service
Today some 30,000 people attended the 2009 White House Egg Roll and it was the first time the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trasngender (LGBT) community had been recognized, invited and given tickets to this historic event. Jennifer Chrisler, the Executive Director of the Family Equality Council talks about her excitement to have a president that affirms the LGBT families as families and how it helps with hurdles they face because they are not recognized under the law.
