Obama’s “Coming Out” : President Supports Gay Marriage
President Barack Obama made history last Wednesday, becoming the first sitting U.S. President to publicly support gay marriage. The President had come under increasing pressure to support the liberal cause following Vice President Joe Biden throwing his support behind the issue which sharply divides the American society, with recent polls indicating that little over 50% of Americans support marriage equality. Said Obama in an interview with ABC News, “I’ve been going through an evolution on this issue. I’ve always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. At a certain point, I just concluded that for me, personally, it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think that same sex couples should be allowed to get married.”
