As gay rights advocates waited for a much-anticipated interview with President Obama regarding gay marriage, one called Wednesday “a big day for all Americans.”
Speaking from his office in Washington, D.C., Human Rights Campaign communications director Fred Sainz said the president’s expected comments could be the end to his “evolving” views on the issue.
“I think the term ‘evolving’ implies constant motion with an end. I think at some point, the evolution has to end,” Sainz said. “I’m hopeful that it will be today.”
ABC’s Robin Roberts was scheduled to interview Obama on Wednesday in a hastily scheduled interview that comes after two top members of his administration spoke publicly in support of same-sex marriage.
On Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden said on “Meet the Press” he is “absolutely comfortable” with same-sex marriage. A day later, Education Secretary Arne Duncan told MSNBC he supports gay marriage.
Also making headlines was the Tuesday passage of a law banning same-sex marriage in North Carolina, which Sainz called a “stinging loss.” Having the president speak out in support would show a “strong and principled leader taking a position based on his convictions.”
West Hollywood Councilman John Heilman called it “incredible” progress that a president will even address the issue of gay marriage directly. Echoing a sentiment common in his city, he called the North Carolina amendment “disappointing but not surprising.” “I think everyone would hope [Obama] would come out strongly in favor of same-sex marriage,” Heilman said. “But if he doesn’t, I think people will understand.”

I’m surprised Hussein didn’t hide it until after the election. That was his plan.
LOL what a buffoon..Obama has said for years marriage is between a man and a woman, NOW he is for homo marriage because he wants a diversion from his horrendous policies. Doesn’t matter, Obama is DONE in November
He already had the gay vote so all he’s done is alienate the independent vote.
These people are fools.
When do us “single” people get our “rights” and tax credits??? I guess we are just second class citizens.

Likely what they said too when they visited their first glory hole.
Did they not see how this is voted down everywhere? No fool pandering from the WH is going to change that.
No one is stopping them from doing their thing. What is wrong is the government not protecting ME from their intrusions.
I am still kinda surprised he did this now. I thought for sure he would wait.
Nonsense. Homo's never do stop "evolving" - actually devolving - to more and more prurient levels of animalism. They will eventually reach the level of championing child rape. The groundwork is already being laid by pedophile groups like B4U-ACT.
And some church going African-Americans I know who are going to be really incensed by this. “
I think that’s right. It may only be a small percentage, but still, in a close election, and coming off on a campaign where he turned out African Americans in historic numbers, this can only hurt.
most of Obama’s Admin is gay
Burp!...Yeah!...Big day...big deal
The gay vote won’t save Obama’s ass...No pun intended.
He needs votes no matter where they come from......LOL
Heh heh...
This is Obama that we're discussing, right?
Since when has Obama ever been strong, principled, or a leader?

Sorry but an American President that supports perverts is not a good day for any American that is not a pervert. Our nation is rapidly falling into the pit. A once great Nation is being reduced to trash.
