It is going to be difficult for elected officials to pass gay marriage bills. Most people are straight and the other issue is that it is still a minority issue within the democratic party. African Americans vote democratic, but are more conservative as a group. So they can't be counted on for these votes. I understand why Obama is pushing for a few things for the gay community. He needs their votes. Gays vote and donate in a block. This way they have a voice as a group. In talking to my daughter who is in High School more and more kids are saying they are gay. I personally don't believe that you are born gay. I think it is a personal preference and therefore a choice.
While gay marriage is something I personally am against sexual orientation is something else. Gay people should be protected against discrimination. The same way sex, race, and religion are. This would mean that harsher punishments should occur if it is proved that a crime was committed against an individuals sexual orientation. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Read the Bible. Churches who say it is OK to be gay are going against their teachings 200 years ago. God doesn't change, people change. So I am against gay marriage, but I am for fair treatment of all humans.
