Of course, polls showed that large majorities of Americans thought Obama support gay marriage anyway, so I doubt the political impact's as major as some were expecting - either positive or negative.

That's not really an endorsement.  Just some waffling about how the younger generation has no problem with it.

The full quote's in the link, but the most relevant part is "I think same-sex couples should be able to get married".

Never change, FOX.

Disgusting, but it's to be expected.

Care to actually elaborate?

Of course he doesn't.

how come every single time it came to a vote it lost

That's not true, of course, but you knew that.

It's also not my point - the kind of people who turn out to vote on a gay marriage amendment are inherently going to be more conservative (and Republican) than those who turn out in a Presidential election - I doubt this is going to change many votes.

Good. This is perhaps the most clear-cut, "black and white" issue to me.

It's simple: Gays should have all the rights that straights have. They don't currently.

Solution: Give them those rights legally.

yes they do, any gay can get married to a member of the opposite sex even in North Carolina.

Best post ever!
