New Conservative Talking Point: "Obama doesn't really care about gay civil rights"
I've encountered this several times in the past couple of days on Facebook from conservative posters. To paraphrase, they are saying "the President doesn't really care about gay civil rights, and switched his stance on same-sex marriage in a cynical attempt to gain votes," and then using that as a basis to imply that one party is no better than the other when it comes to gay issues.
My response has been that, since I am not inside the President's head (nor is anyone else), I can't really speak to the issue of what he "cares" about -- I can only go by the actions he takes and the policies he endorses, and on that basis alone, I can conclude that there is a vast difference between the President/Democrats and the GOP on this subject. I have gone on to say that further, I'm not so much interested in what any president "cares" about so much as what that president actually DOES. And again, the President/Democrats win hands down over ANY Republican when it comes to gay issues!
