President Barack Obama spoke to attendees at the White House LGBT Pride Month reception last night.

Obama highlighted some of the administration's achievements for LGBT rights since taking office, including passing the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, expanding domestic partnership benefits to Federal employees and working toward ending "don't ask, don't tell."

Two Atlanta students were on-hand, and Georgia Voice cover-girl Chely Wright was also recognized by the president at the reception.
