President Obama has gone on-the-record in support of LGBT binational families.

A new White House website dedicated to showcasing the President's support for LGBT equality makes specific note of the commander-in-chief's support for ending the separation of our families.

The new site, titled Winning the Future, includes a fact sheet about the President's position on various LGBT issues. Under the header "Supporting LGBT Progress," the Administration notes that, "President Obama believes that . . . Americans with partners from other countries should not be faced with a painful choice between staying with their partner or staying in their country."

The website, launched in conjunction with the White House's proclamation observing LGBT Pride Month, is a first for any Presidential Administration. A statement posted on the site notes that, "The President and his Administration are dedicated to eliminating barriers to equality, fighting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and engaging LGBT communities across the country."
