FINALLY! …(and it's about darn time)…."Obama: 'I think same-sex couples should be able to get married' "4:50 p.m. ET- President Barack Obama endorsed the right of same-sex couples to marry on Wednesday, a landmark pronouncement made in light of mounting pressure from gay rights advocates.Obama became the first U.S. president to back the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry, a reversal from views expressed during the 2008 campaign, when he said he opposed same-sex marriage but favored civil unions as an alternative.Obama told ABC News that, after reflection, he had "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."

"if you don’t want the convictions of your Muslim neighbor to be forced on your through the laws of the state, you should not force your Christian convictions on your neighbor through that mechanism. Truth you just hit it right on the head. See this is the part about christianity thats so hypicritical. They don't want anybody forcing their religious views on them but they turn right around and force theirs on everybody else. North Carolina just took five steps backward on this one.

….a Quote for thought…"if you don’t want the convictions of your Muslim neighbor to be forced on your through the laws of the state, you should not force your Christian convictions on your neighbor through that mechanism.In this case, the issues tied to the amendment as I understand it (and I may be wrong here) extend far beyond what we dealt with in Prop 8 in California. Not only does this amendment forbid marriage, it forbids the state’s acknowledging of any other sort of domestic partnership." J.R. Danile Kirk, Professor at Fuller SeminaryRead: http://www.jrdkirk.com/2012/05/07/regarding-amend…1st: I'm a Christian and this amendment in NO way, shape, or form represents My convictions.In fact, NO form of bigotry or discrimination is in line with My Christian upbringing.2nd: To the best of My knowledge there is NO way to poison a little of the well-water without poisoning the ENTIRE well. As Kirk noted, this poisonous bill will effect HETEROSEXUAL partners, living in North Carolina, who are NOT legally married as well as gay couples, living in North Carolina, who are BY LAW forbidden to marry.

TDB: "Obama: ‘Disappointed’ in N.C. Vote" President Obama issued a statement late Tuesday that he is “disappointed” that North Carolina passed Amendment One, which will add a line to the state’s Constitution declaring that marriage between a man and a woman is the “only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized.” Read: http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2012/05/09/ob… Uh-huh. Well with all due respect to the President, on this issue HE's hardly shown himself to be a profile in Courage. Perhaps the people who support this amendment will, in time, "evolve" just as the President now claims he's "evolving"..?/sarc
