Gay youth offered chance at White House internship

[canis_lupus]

(Washington) The Obama Administration is reaching out to young people nationwide, including LGBT youth, to apply for White House internships.

The new program, which would take place this summer, would offer youth valuable job experience and an inside look at the life of White House staff.

In addition to normal office duties, interns will supplement their learning experience by attending a weekly lecture series hosted by senior White House staff, help at White House social events, and volunteer in community service projects.

The 2009 Summer Internship program runs from May 22 to August 14, and the submission deadline is March 22, 2009.

Applications are available online through the White House Web site.

1. Obama is Smart to Hire Gay Interns.

They'll never take off for honeymoons, deaths in the spouse's family, etc.

5. Sorry...I Don't "Do" Sarcasm Smilies

I thought my comment highlighing the hypocrisy of Obama's "reaching out" to gay youths while insisting that they be kept second class citizens was self-evident.
