Michelle was addressing a Democratic Party fundraiser in a private Kalorama home in Washington late yesterday when pro-LGBT rights individual standing at the front started shouting for an executive order on gay rights.
"One of the things that I don't do well is this," 49-year-old Michelle said. "Do you understand?"
Michelle, who was 12 minutes into her speech, resumed speaking after the protestor was taken out of the event.
Crowd started shouting that they wanted the First Lady to stay.
"You need to go!" said one woman near the protester.
The protester was then escorted out, shouting "...Lesbian looking for federal equality before I die."
No television cameras were allowed inside the meeting.
