I think it's great that Obama has made his personal views on gay marriage public. The President making a statement like that is a big step forward, regardless of whether he's just playing politics or not.
But a statement like that would have been more helpful before the vote was taken. He also gave himself an out by saying that it should be left up to the State to decide their position.
I just want him to walk up to a podium, say "EQUAL RIGHTS, BEACHES!", sign a piece of paper, and make it legal. Yes, I know that's not how democracy works, but this is a pretty clear cut issue to me.
EDIT: I like this guy, Cory Booker, the mayor of Newark. He puts it very well.

I guess it makes it all that unnerving in a cleaner neighborhood. I couldn't imagine that happening in ours.

Speaking of gay rights, David Menzies is an idiot. What a ridiculous article.

I'm sorry, but that's completely absurd. The "discriminating club" isn't married people. At most, this gesture is a boycott of the wedding industry, which as an industry would certainly be thrilled of gay people had lots of weddings. It doesn't take money away from anybody who opposes gay marriage, and it doesn't take votes away from anybody who does either. It's a silent statement to nobody.
For that matter, if anything, this gesture would inadvertantly prove why gay marriage shouldn't be an issue at all, in that the marriage or lack of marriage between two straight people doesn't impact anybody else any more than the marriage ot two gay people.

Other opinions held by David Menzies:
- African Americans should get over the oppression of slavery
- Women should be content that men let them work
- That whole Hitler-Germany-Nazi thing and the Jewish population
- Sex abuse and the Catholic church - plea for attention
I'm far more offended by the fact that an editor deemed that to be acceptable for publication because it not only means that Menzies' idiotic views and fact-less hit piece was written, but someone read/skimmed it and went "yeah, that's ready to be read by the masses".
