President Barack Obama specifically included LGBT rights in today's inauguration speech, part of a powerful appeal to "the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal."
Obama gave his second inaugural address after being sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts.
"We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths – that all of us are created equal – is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall," Obama said.
