@watergaia How the fuck is he an ass ?? He said that he believes you have the right to marty whoever even if his views are different .. Smh read a book and enhance your knowledge
Obama: I dont think civil unions in any way inhibits my core beliefs on marriage.
Ok, so what if they did go against your beliefs?
Would that mean they should not be?
Just because something is deifferent from your religion does not mean that it is wrong, it also does not mean it will affect you in any way. If Gay marriage affects you it is because you let it affect you. Get over it and move on with your fucking life.
Everyone knows that all intelligent people, e.g., Barack Obama, support gay marriage. He just didn't want to be politically vulnerable during a campaign that really had nothing to do with social issues.
This is sooo stupid. Marriage isn't sacred. And there is no such thing as God. People need to end their denial. So who cares if gay people get married. Who are they hurting?
@cwbsol193 and thats exactly what obama thinks. He might say he supports fags but thats only for votes. He is like the rest of us humans... Disgusted by those bugs
i don't suport gay marriage And im not against it, BECAUSE its none of my busness what homosexuals do. And if it isn't any individuals busness than How is it the states busness?.
if you really believe that marriage is a religious ceremony (which i do) than the state shouldn't have anything to do with it, no matter who it is getting married. how is it that a bill has to be passed for a religious ceremony?. the state did nothing about the mosk being put up by ground zero BECAUSE it was Religion,
marrigage is a sacred union between a man and a women.Sexual relationships should be between a man and a women. That is the natural order of humanitiy. Homosexuality is unnatural and disturbing. For once I actually agree with Obama.
@cwbsol193 Evolution has made homosexuals as well as straights. And evolution has its reasons. So homosexuality is definitely natural. I would say homosexuality is good for society because it helps population explosion.
People say this generation is out of whack!..i say guess what just because we CHOOSE to live differently ..just because we CHOOSE to go about things a different way..just because we CHOOSE to break tradition doesnt mean we arent smart...or that we dont know what we are doing. this is 2012 and its time for us to show you what we're really made of :p

the reason religion doesnt promote homosexuality is because homosexuals can only participate in sodomy which is a sin because it is the act of sex soley used for pleasure if to people have an attraction to eachother and enter into a partnership they will engage in intercourse also homosexuals are not against gods will or they wouldnt be. gay partnerships outside of religion are totally ok so long as the countrys definition of marraige by law is not a religious one.
There is no "truth" about bigotry. It is what it is. People hating people for trivial reasons, but hating them nonetheless. Blame God, blame your "beliefs", you're still a bigot. You need to own your bigotry, otherwise you cannot ask to be respected for it.
The same "beliefs" were blamed when segregation was championed "on religious grounds". As was opposition to interracial marriage and an end to slavery. Hatred and discrespect can not be reconciled with any "truths".Bigotry is indefensible.
All bigots want gays to have inferior standing in society, insist gays shall endure constant torment and be eternally ashamed of who and what they are.
It's curious that 100% of those egomaniacal, power obsessed, "faith-based" homophobes insist they are NOT homophobes, nor do they hate gays.
100% of all people who claim being gay is a choice are NOT GAY (or so they claim).
Does this mean 100% of all gays are liars? If being gay is a choice, what is a closet gay? This is really stupid!

@Jektorx2187 because marriage is defined as between a man and a woman. I believe that gays should be allowed a union, with less rights than a married couple like raising children. And marriage should lead to procreation, but they cant help if they are infertile, but at least they (might)have sound enough morals to raise children. In case that its not obvious, i dont hate gays or lesbian.

@idaman12345 Pakistan is an excellent country. They have a wonderful culture, they have maintained conservatism, a beautiful religion, a wonderful landscape and a rising economy. Plus, they have many friends like Saudi Arabia backing them up. I'm going there next summer.
I would like to let you all know Obama is now pro-gay, and has made 37 progressions in the LGBTQ community. This video is irrelevant at this point in time.
@littleeffinglesbian and when his time comes for debates he will say the SAME thing he said here. He only gets on the social issues when standing in front of Human Rights and other organizations. So no, this is relevant.. If you think for ONE minute he's going to change his tune in an open debate you're silly. I'm gay too, but no President cares anything about social issues either way after they are elected. He talks a lot of talk but will do nothing. DADT was a placation.
@wearestarstuffsagan leviticus 18:22 ...."Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable"...and i want to just say that i DO NOT agree with this and im not remotely religous but im just saying the bible does infact say it and it's pains me to think people believe this...
@EpicNade if your not religious its natural to be male/female couples compared to samesex couples because of reproduction
Homophobic generation? Homophobia isnt new, its been around as long as homosexuality if not longer & actually i think people are more accepting of homosexuality now than generations before us.
you say its a homophobe generating using religion as an excuse. you think all homophobes are religious? A LOT of homophobes hate religion...
@Rokshii wow, way to misinterpret the whole point... I never said all homophobes are religious, and I know the majority of people are heterosexual, that's just how most people are. Also, by "generation" I meant a large portion of this century. What I meant by using religion as an excuse was that often times, religious people will say it's "wrong" to be gay, because it's against "gods will".
isnt there the story of the cities Sodom and Gomorrah, that were destroyed by God for many reasons inc sexual/Homosexual practices (sins of flesh)
but since it was Adam and Eve created by God, then i doubt even if homosexuality isnt actually condemned that it would be accepted by God/Jesus/Religion
@Rokshii so if you have daughters you should go and send them out to have sex with strangers? That's what the story of sodom and gomorrah states. Lott offered his daughters up to the strangers. If you don't you SINNING!! SINNNERS TO TO HELL!! LMAOOOO!!
@IQEllis You seem to be missunderstanding something?
& i dont know what you're talking about?
someone said jesus didnt condemn homosexuals & i said no he didnt but sodom and gomorrah were destroyed for many reasons inc homosexual practice... so i dont understand how what you commented even begins to make sense :S
Even if you don't support it, you have to understand that "equal rights" means everyone, not just one religion, race, gender, or sexuality. Every one of these have been discriminated in some way and when you were, you felt like a second class citizen. Imagine how you felt?
This is a terrible way to describe the institution of religion's stake in religious ceremonies.
He otherwise makes very good points. If you think marriage is under attack from "the gays", then you clearly haven't been paying attention to celebrity weddings nor the fact that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. No, it's normal people who will make or break the institution of marriage.
Regardless of what you say, Obama got this one right!!!! When God is in the mix you must follow His Word regarding an institution He invented and has a direct covenant with both the man and woman in it!!!!
@Xiethetuber Exactly! If gays get to parade around and say whatever the hell they want without being criticized about heterosexuals then we should be able to do the same. However, that's not the case, in fact, it's getting to the point where being straight is a crime. This coin has two sides, but society only sees one. "Let's not offend anyone now", "we have to tolerate them"...bullshit, I'll tolerate them when they learn to tolerate me, and if they don't like it, tough.
@aDislikeBot You don't seem to realize that you're doing it right now. I know, 'the forest from the trees' and all that. Seriously, though, I don't have the right of free speech to say what I want...don't you have to tolerate me?
@aDislikeBot Let me slow down for you, IF I TYPE LIKE THIS. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME BETTER? :D
I agreed with someone that free speech for both sides should be available, then you immediatly proved me right, that it's not equivalent right now, by jumping on my case for disapproving of homosexuals. It's very plain to see, if a gay makes fun or talks badly about straights, they're applauded, if a straight talks badly about gays they're booed...and you proved that.
@TheBosstrain Let me slow it down for you? It's nothing to do with that, its the fact I have no idea who you are and you made an irrelevant comment towards me.
That guy was saying gays parade around saying whatever they want? I don't think i've ever heard a gay person speak out against straight people in my life, what I do see is a bunch of religious bigots saying homosexuality is wrong etc, so I find it stupid someone is sticking up for straight people in a situation like this.
@aDislikeBot Again, I go back to my previous question: how is the air on Jupiter?
Staight people are forced to tip-toe around gays, but gays do not have to. No, there aren't many cases where gays outright attack straights. However, since they feel automatically protected by society, they therefore do not feel the need to attack. Heterosexuals, however, are being pushed into the closet that gays came from. o_O Slowly enough that nobody realizes it though.
@aDislikeBot BTW, I don't know you, but you felt it appropriate to think I'm retarded or dumb...I wouldn't be talking to you if you hadn't replied to a comment that wasn't directed at you in the first place. :p
@TheBosstrain I responded to someone named "Decenium", because they thought that straight people were the ones being mistreated in a society that thinks gay people should be eternally tortured in hell.
I'm confused as to what point you are trying to get across.
@aDislikeBot "Are you retarded or just incredibly dumb?" Do you deny saying this to me? Look back at the comments and right above my first, where I agreed with someone, you said this to me, then have the audacity to accuse me of making an irrelevant comment towards you.
Fuck! Obama stutters so fucking much it's annoying. He beats around the bush too much to say " yes, I'm a Christian, however I understand not everyone thinks this way and I can't push my religious morals on others". a 20 second response in more than a minute.
as a european i find it shocking that Obama doesn't openly support gay marriage. i would expect to hear this from bush or reagan, but i gave obama more credit
Wow! What a pussy! Obama is WAAAAAY too smart to think that the Bible is a legitimate endorsement of the Republicans' version of "traditional marriage." He's just saying this whiny bullshit because he is too weak to be an actual leader. This guy is obviously 100% OK with marriage equality but is 100% too cowardly to say so. What a putz!!!!
@hardstyle905 And a shit Muslim at that. He drinks alcohol, and doesn't pray five times a day. He doesn't even go to mosque, but church! Christian church!
Our president is the worst Muslim on earth. Is it any wonder why he caused the U.S. to lose all its jobs? I totally agree with your point, my brother, if Obama would only go to mosque more often, everything would be better.
you thinking obama is a muslim is the real bullshit...
all those narrow minded americans would have killed him in the street, and the people who really pull the string would have never given him the opportunity to become president, eventhough he would still be in their pockets
Why the fuck are there so many dislikes? People are so brainwashed that they just believe their Replublican parents and hate on the poor guy. It's a good thing that he'll be elected again in 2012. The next problem is to get through those retarded Republicans in Congress who veto everything he tries to pass just because he's of a different political party.
@6Midgetosser9 Seriously?!?!?!?! I "disliked" this video even though I'm a hard-core progressive. I disliked it because I'm gay, but mostly because I hate it when politicians - especially ones as intelligent as Barack Obama - dodge tough decisions and controversial stances they both know and believe are right in order to suck up to religious fundamentalists. That's reprehensible, and anyone who "likes" such behavior in a politician is a servile piece of crap.
Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.
Wow as soon as he stared talking it already got me mad people need to stop we are all human beings why do we still infringe peoples civil rights on there own beliefs
The phrase of freedom of religion i believe in their words was meant of christianity. i dont believe they imagined the diversity that started however it did. bottom line they did. create a nation under God. and thus began different denominations. Diests that promoted freedom of religion as long as it was under a superior being. although they never specified who's god. Jesus Christ was the only God they had learn of. and research shows 10% of the population were christian.
no how about the only religion practiced by them was forced upon them. they knew of no other religion except christianity. but with the study of the bible created different beliefs such as interpretations etc. the left and discovered america in search for religious freedom not to worship a "new" religion that hadnt been conceived but practice as they pleased as well as not religious factors such as freedom of speech. they said under god! many times they related to christianity.
the point of coming to america was christianity, the pledge states we are a holy people...the separation of church is state is ALSO unconstitutional, but regardless we arent talking about specific states allowing civil union we are talking about federal and about a nation as a whole allowing it.... Which is 1. unhealthy 2. unnatural 3. against the religion the nation was founded on.... prove me wrong.
2. the words "Jesus Christ, Christianity, Bible, Creator, Divine, and God" are never mentioned in the Constitution
3. none of our founding fathers were Christian. they were Deists, which is to say they thought the universe had a creator, but that he does not concern himself with the daily lives of humans, and does not directly communicate with humans, either by revelation or by sacred books
@kjustinm ok I will prove you wrong, SEA HORSES, sea horses are KNOWN to have male-male relations, they stay together forever. primates sometimes show affection to the other gender, and many many other animals. go look it up, go look up videos, go look for some information that is not in your damn book thats written 2000 damn years ago. we learned quite a lot in the meantime you know
He isn't going against gays if you listen to what Obama says... "I can afford those civil rights(gay marriage) to others even if I have a different perspective or view"
@MysteriousNicSociety Hmmm not really. There are different opinions about this in Buddhism. Generally speaking no religion "supports" gay marriage. You may find certain practices are less condemning of it.
it doesnt make me uncomfortable. i also believe that sex is the strongest form of love, and marriage is a commitment. However state should be able to decide whether or not they will promote gay marriage. In a nation under God it is unconstitutional to allow gay marriage
It actually isn't a nation under God. And even if it was, the state and religion are separate. The law will not enforce anything related specifically to religious beliefs. Its in the first amendment.
ha so this guy starts off saying hes a christian but then speaks out plainly against the teachings of the bible. even if gay marriage is accepted by him, then would it not be hypocritical to speak it as a christian against God's teachings. i believe gay marriage is wrong and i dont not believe in civil union, however, every person has a right. i think if you are gay, you have the right to display so. However i believe the state should have say in whether not they as a population will promote it.
@kjustinm if you believe we have a right to express ourselves, then how can you say we cant express our love in the most powerful of ways, and some marriage is just a mistake, its not a holy concept anymore, just look at Britney spears or kim kardashian, but then there are legitimate gay couples that wana get married because they actually do love each other, and they cant because it makes you uncomfortable, just think about it
@olympicchamp1111 thank you!!!!! The people clapping are in my opinion idiots! If your gay, thats your business. Why should we care what people do? Its their lives not ours. You cant control who you love/your feelings. Its called HUMAN NATURE.
Obama has said that his views on gay marriage are "evolving," and he has spoke at the HRC events and other gay rights events several times. I think he probably does support gay marriage but isn't coming forward about it because at this point isn't unclear if supporting gay marriage would hurt or help his campaign.
because he said my perspective is that marriage is between two people he is automatically a homophobe? Oh poor minority bunch of the country are controlling your minds like slaves!
and no they are not 10% they are less than 5% of the population.

I'm gay too, but no President cares anything about social issues either way after they are elected. He talks a lot of talk but will do nothing. DADT was a placation.

This is a terrible way to describe the institution of religion's stake in religious ceremonies.
He otherwise makes very good points. If you think marriage is under attack from "the gays", then you clearly haven't been paying attention to celebrity weddings nor the fact that 50% of all marriages end in divorce. No, it's normal people who will make or break the institution of marriage.

@Xiethetuber Exactly! If gays get to parade around and say whatever the hell they want without being criticized about heterosexuals then we should be able to do the same. However, that's not the case, in fact, it's getting to the point where being straight is a crime. This coin has two sides, but society only sees one. "Let's not offend anyone now", "we have to tolerate them"...bullshit, I'll tolerate them when they learn to tolerate me, and if they don't like it, tough.

@TheBosstrain Let me slow it down for you? It's nothing to do with that, its the fact I have no idea who you are and you made an irrelevant comment towards me.
That guy was saying gays parade around saying whatever they want? I don't think i've ever heard a gay person speak out against straight people in my life, what I do see is a bunch of religious bigots saying homosexuality is wrong etc, so I find it stupid someone is sticking up for straight people in a situation like this.
aDislikeBot 6 days ago
@aDislikeBot Again, I go back to my previous question: how is the air on Jupiter?
Staight people are forced to tip-toe around gays, but gays do not have to. No, there aren't many cases where gays outright attack straights. However, since they feel automatically protected by society, they therefore do not feel the need to attack. Heterosexuals, however, are being pushed into the closet that gays came from. o_O Slowly enough that nobody realizes it though.

Homosexual activists understand the power of words.
Please visit my channel to watch a one-minute video clip in which popular atheist author Richard Dawkins admits that homosexual activists "hijacked the word 'gay'".
The word "homosexual" is more appropriate and accurate because it, unlike the word "gay", actually describes the behavior/attraction/relationship being discussed.
The word "gay" helps homosexual activists push their agenda.

The phrase of freedom of religion i believe in their words was meant of christianity. i dont believe they imagined the diversity that started however it did. bottom line they did. create a nation under God. and thus began different denominations. Diests that promoted freedom of religion as long as it was under a superior being. although they never specified who's god. Jesus Christ was the only God they had learn of. and research shows 10% of the population were christian.

4. we were not founded on Christianity.
