AG Holder?

"When Obama visited Sweden last September, he also mentioned gay rights, but did not build his remarks around the issue as Holder did Tuesday. He said the two countries shared a belief that "our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters must be treated equally under the law; that our societies are strengthened and not weakened by diversity." Obama echoed this sentiment in last week's State of the Union -- while tying the issue to next week's Olympic Games, where LGBT issues have been in the foreground since Russia was announced as the host."
