On May 9, 2012, President
Obama came out and said that he is in support of same sex marriage.
Back in 1996 when he was running for Governor of Illinois he checked
a box that said “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages and would
fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.” When the President was
elected, the same question was asked again it was the complete
opposite, he said “marriage is between a man and a woman that was
in 2004. In 2010 he said “my feeling are constantly evolving, I
struggle with this”. In 2011 he was still struggling with it. I say
it is about time that there is a President that came out in support
of same-sex marriage. Remember he did check that box in 1996, he
probably thought it was right back then. I think it is brave of
President Obama, because homosexual should have the same rights as
“the man and woman union”. I know in every family in this nation
there is a family member or someone who knows a homosexual. I say
yes, why not give them the right to marry they contribute to this
society just like the heterosexuals do. They raise children, pay
their taxes and are in the military. What is the big deal? Who knows
if this will hurt Presidents Obama’s reelection? I just want say,
he has the strength and poise of a great leader to change his mind
and let the people know about it. No matter what happens with the
reelection I am proud to call him President.
