President Obama has the decency and the backbone to lead this country forward. He has taken a very sensitive issue and has spoken up for equality because it’s the right thing to do. People who have had the courage to follow their hearts and love whom they choose can rest assured that their President has the courage to support them. This country needs acceptance of all people and our president has taken a monumental step in the right direction. I applaud you President Obama!

I’ve been cruising some of the more “conservative” websites. I struggle to understand how a person comes to support the outrageous positions of the “religious right,” “ultra conservatives,” and republicans. What I found was shocking and disgusting. Most people who comment on The National Memo website are fairly reasonable people, even if they feel very strongly about their views. Most comments reflect values of inclusion, concern for the greater good and fairness. The opinions I read on “The Blaze” where freightening. These people want to see Pres Obama dead! They make the most disparaging remarks about him that have nothing to do with his performance in the role of commander and chief. These are intensely personal attacks and are angry, racist and sexist as well. There is no real intellegent discourse or exchange of views that are supported by facts.

So…you believe same sex marriage was ONLY money-driven? You are quite short-sighted. If he enjoyed a windfall of support in the form of money and votes, then it is the FEAR of the right that finds fault in it.

101strac I totally agree. He made a courageous decison during a time when the right are rattling spears. But I think there’s a lot more people who basically feel, “Live and let live.” That’s about liberty right? It’s about equality.
I’m proud of my president. OBAMA IN 2012!

QUESTION: If to the Republicans marriage in sanctified. Then why do half of them end up in divorce. Marriage is what two people put into it. No matter the sex.

30 states chose to deny gays the right to marry, that in no way indicates that they don’t consider gay as being “normal”. I don’t know what you might mean by “gay lifestyle”, if there is such a thing. President Obama has stated his position, and that ends the conversation – so now he can get on to other things, and so should you.

Every human being should have equal opportunity to bloom where they are planted or to flourish wherever their heart takes them. I’m happy to see my children, and grandchildren puzzled that some people think gays shouldn’t have the right to marry someone they love; the time can’t come soon enough when all people see the meanness behind thinking otherwise. “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind”. Brothers and sisters, our hearts are with you.
