Obama Supports Same Sex Marriage
Obama, in an interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts on Wednesday, publicly expressed his support for gay marriage in a move that was hailed by Democrats, gay rights groups and others as a benchmark for civil rights in the United States. This kind of endorsement is the first of its kind from a sitting president and is bound to stir up a lot of opinions for the upcoming elections.
As pro-equality as this may sound, the country remains divided over whether same-sex marriages should have the same recognition and legal standing as traditional ones, and six months before an election expected to be so tight it may hinge on small slices of votes in a handful of key states.
Well, we can’t wait to find out how this will turn out for the US and how will it be perceived by the rest of the world.
