President Obama's comments on FGG Ambassador Billie Jean King

Official citation read at the ceremony awarding Gay Games Ambassador Billie Jean King the Presidential Medal of Freedom last night:

Through her example and advocacy, Billie Jean Moffitt King has advanced the struggle for greater gender equality around the world. In an age of male-dominated sports, her pioneering journey took her from Long Beach, Calif., to the lawns of the All England Club and the International Tennis Hall of Fame. Her athletic acumen is matched only by her unwavering defense of equal rights. With Billie Jean King pushing us, the road ahead will be smoother for women, the future will be brighter for LGBT Americans, and our nation's commitment to equality will be stronger for all.



Congratulations to Ms. King!
