A historic, personal “evolution” occurred Wednesday when President Obama became the first sitting president to endorse marriage equality. Civil rights, civil liberties and human rights converged when Obama gave his thoughtful and ringing endorsement of same-sex marriage.
The president’s journey toward acceptance of marriage equality has not been a solitary one. For the second year in a row, more than half of Americans support same-sex marriage, according to a recent Gallup poll.
“I was sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people the word marriage evokes very powerful traditions,” Obama said. Though certainly not a uniform voting block, a significant percentage of African Americans, socially conservative and steeped in the church, have bristled at the concept of same-sex marriage.
Though profound and historic, Obama’s words need legal force to ensure equality for same-sex couples. Signing an executive order that would ban discrimination against gays and lesbians among federal contractors would cement Obama’s courageous steps toward justice and equality, while sending a strong message to the public and private sector that discrimination in any form will not be tolerated.

Think of it this way ~ job on the one hand and penis on the other.... which one commands the attention?
The remainder of the campaign all the way to November will be nothing but Red Herrings from the Obama camp — ANYTHING to keep any focus off of WHO AND WHAT HE IS and his anti-American, anti-capitalist, anti-freedom, pro-Muslim, pro-Marxist, pro-dictatorship agenda.
It is really that simple. There will be so many lies for the complicit criminal media to print as well. Expect the worst campaign in American history from the worst possible person masquerading as a president.
If your neighbor boy was trying to mate with a knothole in the fence, or his cat, you’d scream and demand that he be institutionalized if he didn’t stop. But, if he’s trying to mate with another male’s anal canal, or a woman is trying to mate with a rubber appliance, then it’s OK? They’re as insane as the boy trying to stick his penis in a knothole.
The President said he was sensitive to the feelings of people and emotions surrounding marriage.
But clearly, with his evolution on this issue, he decided that such sensitivity didn’t matter. Why then didn’t he say, he weighed all the factors, and decided to **** on the religious feelings of people, since he mentioned religion in the context of marriage?
So are Christians and other people of faith still supposed to give him brownie points because of his sensitivity, and his alleged Christianity?
I think he’s clearly more sensitive to the feelings of the Hollywood crowd and other assorted liberals.
“For the second year in a row, more than half of Americans support same-sex marriage, according to a recent Gallup poll.”
yet every time they get a chance to vote on gay marriage they vote it down and prove these polls false...
“For the second year in a row, more than half of Americans support same-sex marriage, according to a recent Gallup poll.”
Then why do states not support it when it is put on the ballot?
And of course, no one seems to see the hypocrisy of dear leader declaring his support of gay rights while trampling on the rights of everyone else.
They can legislate from here to eternity and they will never get what they want: To be thought of as normal.
homosexuals do not believe in science or eternity.
I suspect most of these lawmakers are ok with homosexual hedonism because it justifies their own personal infidelities. (see former governor of new york who enjoyed “behavior” that required tools which could not pass through airport screeners)
