It's About Damned Time!

Obama said in an interview with ABC News, "At a certain point I've just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married."


Obama once opposed such marriages. He later indicated his views were "evolving."

"I had hesitated on gay marriage, in part, because I thought civil unions would be sufficient," the president said. "I was sensitive to the fact that -- for a lot of people -- that the word marriage is something that provokes very powerful traditions and religious beliefs."

Hi Friends;
  You know there are going to be some who see this as a clarion call for the end of the world.  I'm sure they are the same who thought a black man as president would spell the end of the world, so take whatever grains of salt are required.  But, for me, it is a moment of hope that this country can change, grow, evolve, survive. 
 
hugs;
