Obama: Same-Sex Marriage Should Be Legal

President Barack Obama formally backed same-sex marriage Wednesday during an interview with ABC News. (Image source: ABC News)
President Barack Obama believes same-sex marriage should be legal, the first American president to say so.
“I’ve been going through an evolution on this issue,” Obama told ABC News Wednesday. “At a certain point, I’ve just concluded that for me personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married.”
Obama had formally opposed same-sex marriage, though in recent years said he was “evolving.”
“I have hesitated on gay marriage in part because I thought that civil unions would be sufficient,” he said. “I was sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people the word marriage was something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so forth.”
He told ABC his views evolved amid conversations with his own staff, openly gay service members and his wife and daughters.
“Malia and Sasha, it wouldn‘t dawn on them that somehow their friends’ parents would be treated different,” Obama said. “It doesn’t make sense to them and frankly, that’s the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective.”
Obama said his views are his own personal position and that he still supports the rights of states to make their own laws deciding the issue.
Polling shows Americans are deeply divided over whether same-sex marriage should be legal. A Gallup poll released Tuesday said 50 percent believe it should be recognized, with the same rights as traditional marriages, while 48 percent believe it should not be legal.
The issue became front-and-center news this week after Vice President Joe Biden said he was “absolutely comfortable” with same-sex marriage.

Yes whatever! But when they say they want to change the rules of marriage to include them when no other society on earth has ever done this, no other civilization nor person of historical importance ever advocated for gay marriage or unions in society including Jesus.

Report Post »We’ve got to make our case better or the easy emotion play is going to get the win this time.
Gay marriage is not about equal rights, it’s about getting SPECIAL rights for a group based on a completely unmeasurable surface criteria (professed same gender attraction). If it was about rights, any well-drawn contract between two individuals would suffice.
Instead, it’s about a legal and societal stamp of approval on behavior to legitimize attacks on the Judeo-Christian morality upon which our legal system is based, and upon the basic unit of society (the family) which remains the only viable institution where it has been demonstrated that new good and moral citizens have a decent fighting chance at getting raised right.
We need to make the case for something that’s never needed to have the case made for it. We have to explain common sense to those who have none and in fact think it needs to be challenged. We have to show them not merely that they’re trying to reinvent the wheel of society, but that they’re destroying an institution which, as an ideal, is objectively good and useful–and that it’s therefore immoral to destroy it.

The first 2 years of his administration the demorats controlled the house, senate, and WH and they didnt do anything for the community. They jammed obbumercare down our throats but didnt do a damn thing for the gay community. Obummer will claim victory in overturning DADT but the truth is the the Log Cabin Republicans, (Gay Republicans) filed and won the law suit the determined DADT was unconstitutional. After that Obummer didnt want the court “making legislation” and eliminated DADT by signing a law making it officially done and over with. He could’ve passed gay marriage rights laws when he and the demorats controlled everything, but he didnt. His muslim beliefs wont allow him to sign any gay marriage rights. Now that he is up for re-elction he gets to use the whole issue to blame republicans for why gays cant marry. He gets to turn this into a tool to get the gay voters back to supporting him. Demorats march in the gay pride parades and only care about gay people for fundraisers and votes. Once the elections are over they forget the gay community and all the promisses they have made to them. Just like keeping the black community on the welfare plantation they keep dangling carrots in front of the gay community that they have no intention of giving them. The demorats motto: lie, cheat and steal and so many cant figure that out. Thier history is full of it. He doesnt support gay marriage, 3 1/2 years proves it

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 4:56pmObama the revolutionary
Metaphorically speaking, there’s a revolution going on in the U.S., propped up by three legs. Economic chaos, chaos through racial division, and chaos through class division, all joined by one core element: Barack Hussein Obama and his stable of unelected czars. Obama is using the lessons learned in 1968 as the template for 2012, and many of those who were active in the late 1960′s are now calling the shots for 2012.
“The Obama administration and many of the un-appointed ‘czars,’, either directly or indirectly, are engaged in covert activities with the occupy movement, various labor protests, and other subversive activities inside the U.S.,” stated my source. Using untracked campaign funds, they are paying people to infiltrate the various movements to cause physical destruction of property and disrupt commerce. That began last year, but has increased ten-fold already this year,” stated this source. He added that they are using some lower level DHS agents to make the payments under the context of tracking subversives, but they are the unwitting subversives. “It’s like Fast & Furious” but in the social realm,” he added.
“Obama is using some high profile people as pawns to foment the revolution. I heard several times through very credible sources that [Louis] Farrakhan is on the CIA payroll. Other have been named as well, but I’m not prepared to identify them yet. Farrakhan is to coordinate the Blacks and the Muslims to

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 5:03pmI have evolved on this issue in my life. I used to not think “Gay” marriage should be allowed. But being older and hopefully wiser I have thought about this issue and came to the conclusion that Marriage is a religous ceremony. If same sex couples want to get married, then find a religion/church that will marry same sex couples. This actually works Constitutionally and it does not need government intervention. As for people who do not like the idea of same sex marriage, that is your belief and you would not want someone else infringing on your religious beliefs, so do not infringe on others religious beliefs. As for President Obama, well he needs to raise more campaign funds and this is a stunt to get those funds. We know that his followers in the Nation of Islam is totally against Gay Marriage, and Muslims in general are against gay marriage.

Can anyone answer that?????????? NONE we all have the same rights under the uSA constitution regardless if you are gay or straight.
Now what I get being married that gays and lesbians do not are some federal benifits which are not rights.
See if gays would just have civil unions this would be okay I have no problem with this just don’t call them married, now gays and lesbians should be lobbying our fed govt to have them pass a law saying civil unions are afforded the same benifits as a married couple would have then everybody is happy.
gays get what they want and married couples still have marriage.
But then again that’s not what this is about. it’s about the Gays and lesbians forcing their values on everyone else.

We’re consistent, no matter how much it please or ****** people off. Obama on the other hand put his finger into the wind, found out he could get a lot of money from the gay community if he did this now on the cusp of the North Carolina amendment being passed, and magically he “evolved”.

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 11:56pmSorry to be the one to inform you. Please don’t kill the messenger! One by one the view (Christian view in large part) of who can marry whom has fallen away, and accepted by the majority. You once couldn’t marry someone outside your religion. Mostly gone. You couldn’t marry someone outside your social class (much like the caste system in India), partly gone. Within my lifetime it was actually prohibited and punishable to marry someone of a different ethnic group. That’s still frowned upon by some, but accepted by most.
Times change. You can declare yourself a fossil, and like those who opposed interracial marriage on Christian grounds if you like. You may chose to declare un-Christian a Jew marrying a Gentile and say they are condemned as lots of people before you have. But your kind are being swept away by history.
Seriously, why do you care if two people who love each other are allowed to get married?

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 12:23amGod loves you JZS. Your consistency in piling false analogies on top of false analogies never fails to impress.
Report Post »Not every change in the definition of marriage is an advance. Not every society’s definition of the institution of marriage is equally successful in producing moral and productive citizens. Not every defense of institutions as they stand represents a backward position.
Not only are your analogies false, you’ve cherry picked facts from different societies and periods on top of it, making your point arbitrary, anachronistic, and essentially fictional.
The truth is, this debate has never been about love, because no conservative or libertarian opposes the idea of any two consenting adults to love who they will. It’s not about equal rights either, because those are already guaranteed and upheld by the constitution and numerous case precedents.
Why do you find it so hard to admit that there‘s something positive for society in the very definition of marriage that’s worth defending? Why do you ignore the damage to outcomes in children in countries that have longstanding gay marriage laws? (for example: http://old.nationalreview.com/kurtz/kurtz200405250927.asp)
My guess is projection: you don’t have to examine your own meritless beliefs if you can discard others as demoded.

Posted on May 10, 2012 at 1:07amA little more meat for JZS,
Report Post »No one cares who loves who for what reasons. Individuals have their own preferences, and conservatives understand that better than liberals. The only time conservatives mobilize politically on the issue of marriage is when a special interest group attempts to coerce the state into codifying special privileges into law. Love may be a necessary condition for marriage, and may be the sine qua non of marriage, but if you reduce marriage to love, then you’ve misdefined the very concept of marriage–love is a necessary but INSUFFICIENT condition of marriage.
But try this argument on for size: if the definition of marriage is subject to majority review, then by what rationale would you ban Jim-Crow laws? NC voters affirmed the definition of marriage in 2012 because its definition needed no defense before, was under no attack before. But the last time they voted on marriage they passed it, and it changed the definition of marriage to ban interracial marriage. By your logic, this was justified. By mine, it stands condemned as immoral.
You’re without a logical leg again–best sit down.

n. [L.mas, maris.] The act of uniting a man and woman for life; wedlock; the legal union of a man and woman for life. Marriage is a contract both civil and religious, by which the parties engage to live together in mutual affection and fidelity, till death shall separate them. Marriage was instituted by God himself for the purpose of preventing the promiscuous intercourse of the sexes, for promoting domestic felicity,and for securing the maintenance and education of children.
Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled. Heb.13.
1. A feast made on the occasion of a marriage.
The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage for his son. Matt.22.
2. In a scriptural sense, the union between Christ and his church by the covenant of grace. Rev.19.

Guess that’s one mandate compassionate conservatives can get behind.) The good news for those who truly love freedom (as opposed to those who just say they do) is that the anti-gay marriage crowd is on the losing side of history. 50 years from now they’ll be set right alongside those who thought it was a sin for people to marry outside their race. What Cons don’t seem to have an understanding of is this: just because you don’t like something, that doesn’t mean there oughtta be a law against it. 99.9% of the anti-gay marriage crowd is made up of people who are religious zealots who wish to force THEIR beliefs on the whole nation, whether or not everyone shares those same beliefs. Kinda like the Taliban, no? As someone once said, if two gay people getting married “threatens your marriage”, then there are deep problems with your marriage that have nothing to do with gay people.

It’s a Trojan horse that would give power to the radicals in LGBT movement to force, by Federal law, any and all institutions of faith, schools, private organization etc…..to marry gay couples, teach homosexuality in schools (as an acceptable lifestyle choice, gay rights activism or Gay History Month) whether you want you children to sit through it or not or admit gay members to a private club. This would effectively trample freedom of religion, our even your simple rights if you believe homosexuality to be improper on your own moral terms.
And you can bet that the most radical elements within the LGBT will begin to insist , and succeed, that whenever or wherever an individual or group is honored or celebrated that they be as well.

I see lawsuits coming requiring Churches to marry gay’s even though this is against the beliefs of their religion. It will not be long before the Justice Dept files charges against a Priest who refuses to allow and perform a wedding in a Catholic Church for a same sex couple.

He is pulling the puppet strings of the naive gay community who actually beleive he will change anything. He has had 4 years to do something and has done nothing, go ahead and give him four more.
I’m not saying all gay people are naive just the ones that beleive he will acutally address gay mariage.

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 3:18pmI’m not sure Jesus would be proud of him since he thinks abortion (murdering unborn children) is just fine and a baby is a burden. That doesn‘t sound much like Jesus’ teachings.
“the side of light”??? Jesus IS the light. Obama is not taking the side of Jesus in many ways.

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 3:29pmYou godless blasphemer. Jesus destroyed the sodomites of Sodom and Gomorrah. Marriage is a picture of God’s relationship to His church. I am now convinced this man is dedicated on the destruction of the U.S. as a super power.

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 3:36pmThe Bible says – a man shall leave his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one body.
God said it was not good for man to be alone, and He created a woman for the man. He did not create a man for the man.
For the non believers, support whatever you want, but for most Christians, we support marriage as it has always been. God also said, go forth and multiply. A man and man cannot do that.

I’m sorry to say, but your side is inevitably going to lose on this issue. Seeing the protesters nowadays vehemently fight against same-sex marriage looks eerily similar to those who protested against civil rights half a century ago. Social norms change. Giving a group of people the same rights as everyone else isn’t going to cause this country to crumble. If you legitimately believe that, you are a very small-minded individual. I‘ll honestly be surprised if gay marriage isn’t nationally legalized within the next ten years. And once it is, nothing will change.

Posted on May 9, 2012 at 3:52pmBIGAL don’t insult my intelligence. The steady campaign by the homosexual lobby in our schools is responsible for the 50/50 national numbers on homosexual marriage. As soon as that campaign (with idiocies like “bullying”) is put to an end…then that little gambit is stopped. It begins with getting rid of Obama’s Czar of safe schools, Kevin Jennings. He’s the mind behind this “bullying” campaign in schools. He’s also the founder of GLSEN a group that advocates teaching extreme sex acts to school age children.
Report Post »Of course I’m not talking about ultra-liberal states like California or Oregon. They will always be lost. This “inevitablity” you cite hinges on how quickly our schools can be taken away from stleath pedophiles like Kevin Jennings and his ilk and how quickly liberalism can be shown to be the failure it is. It begins in November.

Why are blacks allowing the dems to keep them on the dem plantation.
