All men are born equal by 1760: 6:00pm On Sep 05, 2012 |
With the increase of jungle justice against individuals suspected to be homosexuals in Nigeria I will propose that the Nigerian govt enact laws to protect all individuals including those in the LGBT community All men are equal and should have a freedom to choose who they love According to President Barack Obama ============================================ President Barack Obama said Wednesday he supports same-sex marriage, raising the political stakes on an issue over which Americans are evenly split. The announcement was the first by a sitting president and put Obama squarely at odds with presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who on Wednesday said during an appearance in Oklahoma, "I believe marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman." Obama said in an interview with ABC News, "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 once opposed such marriages. He later indicated his views were "evolving." "I had hesitated on gay marriage, in part, because I thought civil unions would be sufficient," the president said. "I was sensitive to the fact that -- for a lot of people -- that the word marriage is something that provokes very powerful traditions and religious beliefs." It was not immediately clear how the development -- which same-sex marriage advocates had long sought -- might play out at the voting booth. A Gallup Poll released Tuesday indicated 50% of Americans believe same-sex marriages should be recognized by law as valid, with 48% saying such marriages should not be legal. But a CNN/ORC poll, taken in late March, indicated policies towards gays and lesbians were tied for last in the most-important issues facing the country. Obama was "disappointed" by Tuesday's vote on the issue in North Carolina, which he described as discriminatory against gays and lesbians, a spokesman said earlier Wednesday. https://www.cnn.com/2012/05/09/politics/obama-same-sex-marriage/index.html ================================== I hope Nigerian political leaders too will take a cue and make laws to protect the LGBT community |
