The President's statement was historic. Shame on the Republicans for trying to win elections by exploiting people's bigoted fears.

Obama 2012

[ArtemKonstantinovich]

You are not a very strong democrat. There was time when not every American agreed with abolishing slavery! I'm glad it happened. It happened because of people like Barack Obama, who stood up to old conservative traditions. Then interracial marriage wasn't legal, not every American thought that it was appropriate. When you don't understand the issue, try to put yourself on other person's place. People love each other, but they are DENIED BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS! Sounds familiar?

[Dominique Pauyo]

I'm a democrat who elected President Obama and agree with him on several important issues, but disagree with him on this!...Opened a pandora's box with stating his opinion, and not every American agrees with gay marriage!

Do not judge others simply because their sins are different from yours

In the bible, it says women are created from the rib/something of a man...does that mean that according to the bible a woman is dependent among a man..NO! It can be interrpretted plenty of ways...being attracted to eachother is not a sin, its a gift if anything

Why is religion a part of politics in the first place? Who cares about what views one has!? Is country was built upon many views, not just the Christianity lifestyle.

[Amari Builtmore]

why do they not speak politically correct it is gender not sex. Two of the same gender do not engage in sex so clearly it is not the same as heterosexuality and the truth remains that it is not based on Christianity it is based on the Kingdom of heaven and yet we neglect this truth. That before the giver of all our breath all unions are to support the commandments and orders given by Sacred King of the Kingdom of heaven not federal government regulations and rules.

[HistoryBuff248]

Christianity, considering all the heinous things done in its' name over the centuries, has absolutely NO room to lecture others on what is "evil".

Your ignorant cult doesn't have the right to dictate what others can and cannot do with their lives. It's dying, science and reason will win the battle in the end.

[fanofzimmertwins]

That's the trouble you stupid religions cause. You religion hate on homosexuals and non believers all because of ONE SINGLE BELIEF!

[Tara Arvin]

You people are such sick individuals. How can you sit here and say that gay people don't have the right to get married. They are HUMAN BEINGS. I respect what you all believe, but that's your own bussiness. And if gays want to get married, that's their bussiness. Everyone should seriously just worry about themselves instead ruining other people's lives.

[aquatix]

I would hardly believe that votes were his concern when announcing his support considering the majority of the states do not support same sex marriage. :-/

[Rondale Holloway]

thank you!!! amen!! he is doing this to get more votes i guess. however, the Bible clearly states what profits a man to gain the world but lose his soul. Obama by doing this is telling people he claims he is Christian and christians should be liberal and change God's plans to please ourselves. Romney is a mormon so he already is WRONG. instead of looking at these two we need to look for God and pray for the people in office.
