President Obama comes out in support of gay marriage. By a show of hands who did NOT see this coming?

Am I for marriage equality. Hell yeah!

In an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, the president described his thought process as an “evolution” that led him to this decision, based on conversations with his staff members, openly gay and lesbian service members, and his wife and daughters. 

“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are 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 feel constrained, 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’ve 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,” Obama told Roberts in an interview to appear on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Thursday. 

Excerpts of the interview will air tonight on ABC’s “World News With Diane Sawyer.”

And people say that evolution is a myth. Hah!

I think that most intelligent people already understood that the President was for equality of marriage.  However it is good that he finally came out firmly so that the idiots who keep bringing this up as an issue can finally move on to another thing to be disappointed about.

Of course this now gives the GOP their newest attack against the President, and one that will probably carry them through all the way to November.

I certainly hope that THIS will bring the gay community out in droves to vote for Obama, because you KNOW it is will fire up the Evangelicals like nobody's business!
