The Obama Administration has unveiled a new website providing resources for LGBT Americans and highlighting President Obama’s accomplishments and initiatives on behalf of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Dubbed “Winning the Future,” the site constitutes the first LGBT-oriented constituency webpage in the nation’s history.

Brian Bond, gay liaison for the White House, told the Dallas Voice that the site is intended to keep constituents up to date on the Administration’s efforts on behalf of LGBT individuals.

The website includes a homepage with LGBTQ political and legislative news highlights, a fact sheet, and resources to help visitors find more information on HIV/AIDS, anti-discrimination and DADT. “Wining the Future” also includes links to a blog and to President Obama and other administrative officials’ video messages for the It Gets Better anti-bullying and suicide prevention campaign.

Visit the site online at http://www.whitehouse.gov/lgbt.
