I am not saying that Obama's position on LGBT equal rights is deplorable or terrible or anything of the kind. I said that there was a difference between Clinton and Obama on the issue and it was one of "faith" not necessarily content.

To give you another example, on the site that I listed, Clinton says that she does not believe "homosexuality is immoral"; Obama says that he doesn't believe that "homosexuals are immoral".

You see, those are hugely different statements. Donny "McGurkin" could agree with Obama's statement, but not with Clinton's. The idea "hate the sin, not the sinner" is in Obama's statement - not in Clinton's. Obama's statement goes hand-in-hand with the "enlighten" Christian idea that homosexuals are fine as long as they don't "practice" or 'perform" any homosexual acts. Clinton's statement categorically rejects that possibility, because she says, "homosexuality is not immoral".
