Obama's Awkward Dance On Gay Marriage

[scream4ever]

^^^Most legal experts say the lawsuit will be an easy win, since it's nearly identical to Romer v Evans.

Is that all you care about? Sounds very selfish. Aren't you more worried about electing someone who could actually fix the economy?

Geez, you just never give up, do you?

Tell us how your precious George W Bush handled the economy and gay rights.

Talk about a blind sheep.....

WHile I am not thrilled to have to vote for Obama..the alternatives are worse.
Every single Republician candiate has come out on the record stating they are against gay rights. The next president will be picking at least one to two members of the Supreme Court. You really want another Scalia,Roberts or Thomas on the bench when DOMA,DADT and other issues come before the court?

We don't know yet who the Republican candidate will be. There is a tiny....tiny...and I mean tiny.......chance they may pick someone like Gary Johnson, who supports marriage equality. Until they decide...who knows...still a bit early. I think they would have a good chance of winning with someone like Gary Johnson. He would make Obama look bad on the issue of gay marriage. And it would help our efforts to have a Republican president that would support it. The question is...how badly do they want to win.

Obama is decent in my book, not great but better than any republican for sure! Having said that I think he does lack integrity and honesty on where he stands on gay marriage. Apparently he did favor it in 2 questionnaires in the 90's but now his position is less progressive and it's all politics. Ironically he had said that his views on gay marriage are evolving but if you take in account the fact that he was for gay marriage in the 90's I would say his views are actually devolving instead of "evolving", as he put it.

You'd think someone in great power such as Obama and who's race has suffered disgusting discrimination against something as natural as skin colour would be a little more sympathetic and willing to do something about ending discrimination we gay people still endure today.

"In God we trust" Newsflash, you clearly don't trust the belief that 'God' created all living creatures. But I guess that's going a little off topic.

Not even a chance. There's a better chance that I'll be able to ride a tortoise all the way from Earth to the center of The Sun in less than a day, than for the RNC to allow the nomination of any candidate who is favorable to "gay rights" in any way.

To them, somebody like Gary Johnson, with those beliefs, is worse than the most toxic substance ever known to mankind.
