Obama signals his opposition to gay marriage 'evolving'
Image via WikipediaPRESIDENT: "With respect to the issue of whether gays and lesbians should be able to get married, I’ve spoken about this recently. As I’ve said, my feelings about this are constantly evolving. I struggle with this. I have friends, I have people who work for me, who are in powerful, strong, long-lasting gay or lesbian unions. And they are extraordinary people, and this is something that means a lot to them and they care deeply about.
At this point, what I’ve said is, is that my baseline is a strong civil union that provides them the protections and the legal rights that married couples have. And I think -- and I think that’s the right thing to do. But I recognize that from their perspective it is not enough, and I think is something that we’re going to continue to debate and I personally am going to continue to wrestle with going forward."Hawaii-bound, Obama signals his opposition to gay marriage 'evolving' | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times

Of course, barely one piece of gay-friendly legislation (hate crimes) budged during the past two years, either, despite big Democratic advantages in both chambers.Depending on whom you read, DADT repeal is either dead for the upcoming lame duck session or at best on the kind of life support that depends on the kindness of Republicans in the Senate.
- If DADT repeal dies, Obama will act. Disgusted with himself as much as with the intransigence of the reactionaries on Capitol Hill, he will either. . . "
