Admin to Expand Childcare Rights for LGBT Workers
-------------------------------------------------



The Obama administration is preparing to expand childcare rights for
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender workers. Under the new rules,
LGBT workers would be allowed to take medical and family leave to care
for the sick or newborn children of their partners. President Obama is
scheduled to host LGBT activists tonight at a White House event marking
"LGBT Pride Month."
