You do realize Obama promised homosexuals equal rights and marriage he specifically said "no more waiting!" He won damn near 100% of the homosexual vote. After he was elected, he told homosexuals "just wait, it will happen" and has stalled out completely. He relied on them to get elected, why can't he rely on us?
You are wrong. Here's a summary from About.com's Lesbian Activism site:
Although Barack Obama has said that he supports civil unions, he is against gay marriage. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."
Barack Obama did vote against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.
He said he would support civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, as well as letting individual states determine if marriage between gay and lesbian couples should be legalized.
From the White House Web site: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions. These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.
Not only that but the Administration is going max attack on the "Don't Ask. Don't Tell" legislation as we speak. Admiral Mullen and Bob Gates testified their support before Congress yesterday. Colin Powell even weighed in for this initiative.
You fabricated 75% of what you just claimed.
At least when a Republican tells a homosexual no, they are honest and mean it.
I won't argue with you there.
