Obama Backs Gay Marriage

Obama Backs Gay Marriage:

Better late than never -- and especially good to do so before the election.

Quotation of the day:
But today Obama did more than make that logical step. He let go of fear. He is clearly prepared to let the political chips fall as they may. That's why we elected him. That's the change we believed in. The contrast with a candidate who wants to abolish all rights for gay couples by amending the federal constitution, and who has donated to organizations that seek to "cure" gays, who bowed to pressure from bigots who demanded the head of a spokesman on foreign policy solely because he was gay: how much starker can it get? --Andrew Sullivan
