The main report was written Andrew Sullivan, a political blogger who calls himself openly gay. Photo of the front page is also would put a rainbow over his head Obama.

Sullivan’s own written report had not yet risen, but he wrote that Obama’s support for same-sex marriage made her cry. Sullivan writes, “I think all gay people out there now know they have to have a president who defend them. I think of gay parents who now feel the president on the back of their sacrifice and their love for their children.”

“Obama has done more than just a logical step. He let go of fear. He is prepared to let the light of the political crumbs fall as they should. That is why we chose him,” Sullivan wrote as quoted by ABC News.

“Right now I personally declare that same-sex couples must be married,” said Obama, who as a child in Indonesia have a caregiver who was transgendered.

This statement is contrary to his earlier comments. Baberapa time ago Obama said that marriage is a strong tradition of involving religious faith, so it must be done according to custom.

In an interview last night, Obama said his opinion changed when I saw same-sex marriage directly. He took pity on homosexual military members who can not marry her partner.

Obama also was disappointed the referendum in the state of North Carolina who reject same-sex marriage. He said the state government’s decision was discriminatory against gay and lesbian.
