(11,936 posts)Since you want to bring up the "God's in the mix" comment so much while conveniently leaving out that fact because it doesn't fit your agenda, I feel the need to bring that to light. Those comments he made during that Q&A with Warren back up my point 100%. Barack Obama is a Christian, like most of this god damn country is and thus he believes his own marriage to be a Christian union between a man and a woman. He however does NOT believe that should affect what we legislate as acceptable for marriage. He doesn't believe in gay marriage in a religious sense but has no intention of preventing it in a legislative sense. And thats exactly why I said he doesn't try to use the power of government to shove his religious views down people's throats and the comments he made there completely back me up on that.
And no one said gay people should get in line and shut up. I support marriage equality completely. But going around pretending that Obama is the enemy here and pretending he has done ANYTHING against gay rights is dishonest and unproductive. He has the best gay rights record of any President in history, period. Thats undeniable. And no matter how much you bitch and moan about his religious views, nothing you can say will change that.
