Today, President Obama announced his support for gay marriage.
He said that after years of “struggling” to come to terms with his belief that civil-unions would be sufficient for gays and lesbians, he has not realized that true equality includes not only the same rights but the same word, “marriage”.
Although Obama is a religious man, a Christian, being that he is the son of an inter-racial relationship at a time when many states did not allow interracial marriages, it’s interesting that that irony has been wasted on him, until now, perhaps.
