An anonymous comment on a previous post:
Large sections of the Democratic base did in fact support Prop 8, and the marriage amendment in Florida -- and every other opportunity they've had to defend the traditional definition of marriage at the ballot box.
Just read what gay rights activists are saying about the Administration's brief filed in defense of the constitutionality of DOMA [Defense of Marriage Act] last week. President Obama is their sworn enemy, as far as they're concerned. But then they've resented and distrusted him since the primaries, when they were backing Hillary, and Obama was enraging them by refusing to disown the ex-gay Gospel singer Donnie McClurkin as a campaign helper.
Tell me this. Why didn't a single one of the conservative defense of marriage organizations release a statement about the DOMA brief? Are you all so consumed with resentment over the election that you'd rather lose marriage than admit that someone you don't like did something that helped your cause?

Traditional marriage is President Obama's own stated view. He has also expressed support for the Pregnant Women Support Act.

ReplyDeleteIndeed it is.
"He has also expressed support for the Pregnant Women Support Act"
As good as. I can't see what else he could have meant.
Just as there must be no chnage to DOMA, nor must there be any change to the Hyde Amendment prohibiting federal funding of abortion, which was passed by a Democratic Congress and signed into law in 1977 by President Carter.
