CNN) – President Barack Obama, who previously said his views on the issue were “evolving,” said Wednesday he supports same-sex marriage.


“At a certain point, I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to affirm same- sex couples should be able to get married,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News.

Even though I am personally against gay marriage in the United States due to scientific reasons instead of religious convictions; I have to admit Biden forced Obama's hand with his gaffe.

The United States believes in the separation of Church & State and I feel that same-sex couples should be given the chance of having civil unions. Marriage should be left in the realm of the church.

[size=18pt]Desperation, so this is the length he is willing to go not to loss the election. SMH

this guy no try, this would have been the perfect time to play the "osama card"
he played the card too early and now he's got no tangible card up his sleeve.

Personally he's a disgrace.

anyone that thinks this is a political move has no understanding of US politics.the LGBTA has always been pro-democrats so his announcement changes nothing in that regard.however he will lose a lot of votes from evangelicals which is large bloc.but he will still win coz hez running against Mitt Romney and not Jeb Bush

Obama saying that his predecessors, forty-three of them are stupid for not endorsing g@yism?! If those are truly his personal convictions, then i hope his daughters turn lesbi@n! However, if that was a purely political statement just to gain liberal votes, then i hope his daughters turn lesbi@n AND he loses them damn elections! So much for that! Compromising on your moral values for a bowl of porridge. Zap this House-negro, i'm turning Republican! angry

Stop this your personal opinion crap.This is the same strategy Sarkozy adopted in the previous election using islam and immigration to woo voters but what happened last week when he tried using same again ? He lost.Voters may not really think of Hollande as a better president but they just want an end to sarkozy himself and that was why he lost.Same fate awaits obama !

LoL so Obama states his opinion and some folks are wishing him wrong. So what if he support gay marriage, its HIS opinion and NOT yours. Just because another person's views are different from your views doesn't mean you should hate on someone.

Second whats wrong with gay marriage? I myself don't see the problem. Its not my life nor my business so why the hell should I get involve. Why should I tell another person 3000 miles away how to live there lives. If someone 3000 miles way controlled my life i'll fly over there and kick their a.s.s

Anyway some people just need to take a chill pill and take a few steps back before typing and ask themselves wetin concern you . . .

It is a pity for Obama. He has reached the end of the road and can no longer go further. Americans will vote him OUT. Nobody dares GOD and survives. Gay marriage is anti-Christ and humanity. America needs prayer for they are drifting very fast into self destruction.

Wait until the spread of legalized homsexuality spreads to Africa and Nigeria before you start reacting.Fyi,the US government is doing everything to ensure the rights of gay and we wont allow that to happen especially in Nigeria.

Re: Obama Announces Support For Same-sex Marriage by GAR3TH(m): 11:41am On May 10, 2012
As homophobic as I am what i really cant stand is the utter Bigotry I keep seeing on Nairaland. Every time a gay thread opens you see people flood it with bible quotes, praising the lord etc. But isn't it the same Bible that also condemns polygamy, divorce, monogamy, lifelong celibacy, adultery, Gluttony etc because they are also sin. So How many Nairalanders are FAT, then in that case you are going to hell for gluttony. How many Nairalanders are divorced or remarried, well your going to hell because that is a sin.

My point is you just cant pick and choose what is sin or what is not. You just cant say that Homosexuality is a sin and divorcing, polygamy or gluttony is not. That call being a Bigot, either everything that is stated in the bible is sin or every thing is not, Simple.

Separation of Church and state is misunderstood by almost everybody except Christians. It was never the intention of Thomas Jefferson (the 3rd President of the US who first coined this term ) to exclude religious convictions from Politics but to stop interference of Government in Church affairs.

His letter to the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut by Thomas Jefferson explains this very clearly. Those in favour of not allowing men with natural basic Godly convictions (think conscience) of which all people possess to one degree of another is literally enslavement.

Here in the UK the State (well we do follow after Marxs manifesto) are doing the same trying to redefine marriage thereby aboloshing marriage since a redefining of it destroys its meaning completely.

Matthew 19
But he answered and said to them, “Have you not read that he who made from the beginning, made them male and female?” 5And he said, “Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife and the two of them shall be one flesh.” 6“Therefore they were not two, but one flesh. The things therefore that God has united let not a man separate.”

It doesn't need a f.ool to know that a pen/is was meant to fit into a vag/ina and not a but/t hole, and a vag/ina was not built for candles, dildos and all the other nonsense that lesbozos insert in there when they are doing their thing.

Obama is just an i/diot; he is not a Christian as he professes and he is a son of the devil himself. He and Joe Biden and the other ga/y bonzos should be ashamed of themselves.

This man called obama has not really achieve anything tangible politically,economically and even his foreign policies are nothing but same old american "we are the world super power policies" which destroy other smaller countries,I can't say what his achievement will be in the history of american presidents but I don't think this man his using is moral sense when he support "same-sex marriage" all because of second term and power either he was being push by his fellow democrat or his just experiencing his personal opinion this will not help him morally or politically its a big risk for this man.. Despite the fact that president george bush vice president's(dick cheney) daughter was gay george still did not want gay marriage to be legal!
Barack obama wants gay votes and he will surely achieve gay destruction!!!
