yes. imo, those who vote against gay rights in this country are lunatics......and honestly, that was putting it nicely.
however, if believing obama is sincere makes me a lunatic, so be it. i have been called worse and will proudly wear that label in this instance.
i happen to know that over the last few years he has been rethinking this issue and it had nothing to do with politics but everything to do with personal experience. one of his daughters became good friends with the daughter of a gay couple when the obamas went to dc. she has been questioning her father ever since then in regard to why the law is different for her friend's parents than for her own. michelle obama has long been on record as supporting the right for gay couples to marry. his ''endorsement'' came as a result of personal experience, an open mind, a willingness to keep learning in life, and the guts to admit publicly that he now understands that he was wrong.
