Obama endorses gay marriage

[Coca-Cola]

I personally don't care about this issue much. I've always said that I would officiate a gay wedding.
having said that I have some questions.
1. Why is he saying this now? Pressure from his leftest voters? maybe. or maybe it's a great way to move away from real political issues like the economy.
2. Why do gay couple want to get married? Is it to get the same benefits? I mean, marriage has always been man/woman institution. so why get married? Gay couples are man/man or woman/woman. God bless you if you want that lifestyle but why try to take away the importance and unique man/woman relationship? To say that gay marriage is equal is to say that there are no difference between a man and a woman.

3. don't you think that this is not about giving rights to gays but taking away rights from marriage?
4. why do many think Pres. Obama is brave to do this? He is probably one of the smartest presidents we've had - this is for his benefit. He is being a great politician.

I personally despise so called Christians who attack gays because of this issue. They are the worst.
I do believe that in my life time, gay marriage will be allowed everywhere.
