nObama breaking promises

The idea of same- sex marriage is always a controversial topic when it comes to the public. Some people agree to disagree, but others are strongly against letting two men, or two women be married, and actually be recognized for it. Maybe for personal reasons, or even religious reasons; considering the Bible does speak about Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. What says that same-sex couples won't be good parents to their adoptive children. Some children who’re raised in homosexual/lesbian families may feel more comfortable and securely attached. President Obama has only been in office for one year and already breaking promises to his fellow Americans. Personally, I believe that it up to the discretion of the couple if they decide to become married, and/or adopt children. According to Louis Jacobson, he doesn't necessarily believe that President Obama is purposefully putting this issue aside, but maybe that he doesn’t think that it’s as important as some issues that are going on in the world today. I don't believe that it is fair to discriminate against others. Then again, I'm just a small spec in the big picture of this, so please what do you fellow Americans believe about this controversial issue?

  1. Gay marriage, in my opinion, is just a small spec in the big picture. In my opinion, Mr. Obama has bigger issues to deal with. I am gay and I'm not pissed off that Mr. Obama is putting this issue on the back burner. However, I do not feel passionately about same-sex marriage. Yes, I believe that it is our constitutional right to be able to marry. But I personally don't need a man of law and a marriage certificate to tell me who I am to love and spend my life with. Yes, this is a very controversial issue and I could go on and on. But in my opinion, what it comes down to is when our government starts focusing more on the issues within the United States, opposed to every other country in the world... maybe, just maybe, same-sex marriage will actually be looked at and taken seriously. Even then, same-sex marriage will just be a spec in the big picture. I feel it's a losing battle. But maybe I just have a bad attitude :)
