President Obama Comes Out: He Supports Gay Marriage



For the first time ever, the American President affirms the rights of same-sex partners to marry.

Thank you Mr. President! (What took you so long?)

  • Obama’s gay marriage support brings change in attitudes among African-Americans | TPM2012 http://bit.ly/LNwLfx:  
    • "An endorsement of same-sex marriage was long considered risky for President Obama because of the expected backlash from the African-American community. Few seemed to consider the alternative, which polling suggests is playing out instead: Rather than changing their minds about the president, some black voters are reconsidering gay marriage. "


{see above!!} There is much being said about the endemic homophobia in the black community, and how this may or may not cost Obama votes in the fall. How about some uplift?:
