These rights and benefits include the right to assist a loved one in times of emergency, the right to equal health insurance and other employment benefits, and property rights.
From the White House Web site: President Obama supports full civil unions that give same-sex couples legal rights and privileges equal to those of married couples. Obama also believes we need to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and enact legislation that would ensure that the 1,100+ federal legal rights and benefits currently provided on the basis of marital status are extended to same-sex couples in civil unions and other legally-recognized unions.
I don't see why is it so bad to give same-sex married couples the same legal rights that are given all the "normal" couples.
Why does it piss so many people?

The official stance that he is AGAINST gay marriage. Whatever he had said thirteen years ago, he says different now.

Swain, I'm sorry, but when the rubber actually hits the road, your statement is not true in real life. Only on paper.

"BO has been clear about what he thinks of 'same-sex'-marriage."
No he hasn't. He went back on his word.
