THE ANTI——-?

(Washington)In what has been termed the US’ Evolution to Gay Marriage, president Barak Obama has gone down into history by supporting and calling for a change of law so the country can begin legally recognising same sex marriage.

Obama who reportedly gave in to pressure from the LGBT (Lesbians and Gay community) goes into history as the first US president to back same sex marriage.

History, as Obama declares Gay Marriage Rights
Hailed as having made a politically bold move, the president who still needs to convince 30 states to adopt his proposal, spoke on US television ABC:
“Over a course of several years as I talked to friends and family and neighbors; when I think about members of my own staff who are incredibly committed, monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, raising kids together, when i think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf, and yet feels constrainted, even now that don’t ask, don’t tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point i 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.”

“That’s a huge leap in a very short amount of time. I think the president should be applauded; his evolution of personal beliefs is very important but there is still a lot of work to be done of translating those beliefs into public policy, a political commentator said.”

The internet was awash with rumours of how well Obama will receive support from voters with commentators claiming a crisis of conscience, that he might lose support from black American voters.

Obama however said that he enjoys support from his wife and also obtained backing from his VP, Joe Biden.
