President Obama becomes first president to support gay marriage

Exclusive interview with Robin Roberts will air tonight!!!! I'm proud of him!!!!

OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, 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.

Thank you for showing me just how ignorant you are...

For most gay people, what they feel is natural. Just as heterosexuality is natural to me. Even still, I'm quite confused on WTF people's private lives have to do with anyone but them???

this sounds nice but what if a brother and sister wanted to get married would you think that is right or would you be like no that should not be allowed because it not natural. You have to have rules in things or anything goes

Tell me what's wrong with two people that truly love each other getting married???? 

Tone said:

I think most Americans don't want it but won't fight to stop it if it happens.
Sheli said:

When & how was it proven? Was there a poll taken? Did someone spend years doing a study? Just curious.....

I think most Americans are just ashamed to publicly ADMIT that they don't have a problem with gay marriage b/c they are afraid that it goes against their religious beliefs.

Tone said:

Most Americans dont agree with gay marriage that has already been proven. I think Obama made a huge mistake supporting this.

so you feel that it should be no rules on who can and can't get married?

hell if they allow gay marriage, and allow themn to claim them on their health benefits and taxes that means more taxes/monies paid.  That means by high ass health care that USED TO BE FREE will go down now that more people will sign up for it.  Extra income will come into the  county by way of fees paid to be married/civil union etc. hell im for everything to allow me to keep my damn money

Sigh. I was literally shaking in shock when I read it. Obama literally put his re-election on the gay vote. When the book/movie comes out, I look forward to the Obama campaign reasoning behind this decision.

Agree!

i could careless..i wish this country would stop concerning itself with things that are strictly a persons own free choice and stick to the real issues. i dont give a damn what ya do just pay ya taxes and excuse the interest on my student loans :)

And agree! They ALWAYS fail to realize that the good Lord is the one who is the judge, not man.

The Bible thumpers are hypocrites. The bible says 'the act' is an abomination not the person and it also says in these times the will turn to each other so them gaining rights should not be a surprise. If we pray and worship the same God they should leave their condemnation and punishment in his hands.

Anywhoo, I'm glad my POTUS is showing them he ain't afraid to tackle the tough issues. They're stalling his progress in every which way which is damaging any growth in jobs and the economic recovery.

JustMe said:

I agree on the power of the gay vote... We will also see bible thumpers go on immediate attack...

While I say if you don't stand for something you will fall for anything, I believe that it may have a negative effect on his campaign and re-election. There are several democrates especially the old school christians who will not support the position he is taking.

 

My personal view on thing is equality for all while my religion def frowns against it.

Tone, I believe that two people that truly love each other should be able to spend and dedicate their lives together.

I have enough stuff to worry about than what two dudes do with their dicks and two heffas do with their puss!!! Okay. I know it sounds crass, but it is what it is!!!!!

S***, at one time black folk couldn't marry each other without the slave masters permission!!!! And interracial marriages are freshly legal as well, so forget what someone else thinks is "natural" ... Some of the same mofo's fighting against gay rights would gladly strip your black ass of yours...

 

I see your point.
