2006 White House Egg Roll: More Photos

Gay and Lesbians Join White House Tradition: (LA Times)

WASHINGTON — In a steady rainfall on a chilled day after Easter, some 100 lesbian and gay families participated in the traditional egg roll on the White House lawn, their presence intended to demonstrate that their values are those of traditional American families.

‘It really is about showing the country that gay and lesbian families are part of the American fabric and that we participate in American traditions,’ said Jennifer Chrisler, executive director of Family Pride Coalition, an organization dedicated to seeking equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender parents and their families.”

Famlies with gay and lesbian parents identified themselves by wearing rainbow leis.
