Actually, I believe Obama's team when they say he "has always been against gay marriage". I do always try to give the benefit of the doubt where Obama is concerned, but his public stance on gay marriage has always seemed to be patronizingly conciliatory in a really waffly kind of way.

Having said that, I still think that marriage is only one aspect of the struggle for equality, and marriage law may not be the best place to focus our attention at the national level.
