Obama said in an interview Wednesday on ABC News that his views on gay marriage have evolved, and that he now supports marriage equality for same-sex couples.

Good for the President! Taking a stand to ensure the rights of all Americans is the right thing to do. That bit about state-sponsored homophobia "protecting families" was never explained in a logical way. It simply looks like the "small government" crowd didn't think vaginal probes for women seeking abortions was invasive enough.
I can't believe we are really spending this much time on the subject. We need to talk about how Congress hasn't done enough talking (between the House and Senate) about jobs related bill.
Awesome courage, Mr. President!
President is wise, smart dude.
Most people in America is hung up on the word SEX. this is about equal treatment on taxes, social security, health care and spouse right.
