Is First Lady Michelle Obama fair game for LGBT protestors?

“Yes. I’m a strong believer in the First Amendment. And Michelle Obama is a public figure. I totally understand the rage of LGBT activists, who feel her husband hasn’t done enough. Michelle Obama can be pissed about the protestors but it goes with the turf. Don’t be First Lady if you don’t want the attention.”

“Yes. She has the ability to sway public opinion. She should be doing more for human rights in general, including LGBT rights. She’s in a position of leadership, regardless of whether she can enact a specific policy. So naturally she’s going to be the target of protestors from time to time.”

“Yes. Freedom of speech applies to everyone. Mrs. Obama puts her opinions out there, especially about childhood obesity. So she shouldn’t expect to be immune from criticism. But I do think the protestors would be more effective if they targeted lawmakers.”

“No. The lady who heckled Michelle Obama was ignorant. She can kiss my ass. She just turned people off with her rudeness. There should be dignity and respect for the First Lady. Why go after the Obamas? They’ve done so much for LGBT rights. If anything, protest Congress. They keep turning down everything Obama proposes.”
