"Hello -
I don't have any idea why you can't support gay marriage. This country is not founded on religious morals, but civil liberties.
I believe you should support gay marriage as a matter of government policy (or separate marriage from the purview of government all together - but that's even more radical than gay marriage, I think). I understand if you have personal religious views, but this government is not supposed to support any one religion's platform.
I'm surprised this is such a tough decision. It seems pretty obvious to me.
Thank you,
Vicky"
Background: On this week's "Meet the Press" Biden appears to have indicated a support of gay marriage, but Obama hasn't yet. I saw this week's episode and I thought Biden's 'support' wasn't that clear, but this is how the press reports it so...
Update 05/09/2012: President Obama (in an ABC interview with Robin Roberts) says he supports gay marriage. Woo Hoo! :) It doesn't mean anything changes - but it sure sets a tone. Come on America - let's stand together and start affirming a LOT of things...fair taxes for all, civil liberties for all, Pro Choice for all, equal pay for equal work...There are a lot of things we can start standing UP for instead of being rascally and negative. We have values that we can be proud of...stop hiding them. Those negative hate-filled, fear mongering, power-loving hacks need to find their place in the world - and it's not in charge of AMERICA!!!! GO BABY GO! :)
