"The president, who had been against gay marriage in 2008 but later said his views were “evolving,” explained that he had decided to support gay marriage some time ago, but had been deciding the most appropriate time to publicly announce it". Mitt Romney on the other hand, believes marriage is between a man and a woman. The article I came across is whether or not Obama supporting gay marriage will benefit him for the upcoming election or hurt him in the long run. Read it here . In May of 2012, Obama made the announcement that he did in fact support gay marriage and this could earn the support of many young adults nationwide. So far, I believe Obama will fight for equality for the gay community, hes already taken so many steps to prove he will do whatever he can.
In this article, it states how many people of the LGBT community are backing Obama and how many contributions have been made to Obama for America.

I think Obama supporting Gay Mariage will benefit him greatly. Love doesnt have to be between a woman and a man and neither should marriage. If Romney spent less time worrying about what marriage "should be" and just accepted the fact the people will love one another regardless of what he thinks, maybe he would have a chance in the world to win. Gay marriage is not hurting anyone. Accepting people will get you the vote, not trying to tell them how to live their lifes. People will still be getting married man to man woman to woman or woman to man. Shouldnt he want their votes? How can you tell someone who to love?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100%!
ReplyDeleteMarriage should be about love. I don't understand how it is legal for there to be religions that allow people to marry more than one person, and yet same sex couples are still not able to get married.
ReplyDeleteI can't beleive that Romney is against this. If two people are happy why ruin it based on sex? If it's not affecting you and how you see yourself and go living your life being happy why can't 2 people of the same sex?
