"Democratic Sen. Barack Obama has announced his opposition to a November ballot measure that would ban same-sex marriage in California, a move that puts gay rights front and center in the 2008 presidential campaign."
"It's great to see Senator Obama's statement, which is consistent with what he has said in the past about allowing each state to make its own decision," said Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality for All, which is heading the Prop. 8 opposition. "Is it ideal that he doesn't support same-sex marriage? No. But it's important when political leaders say gay and lesbian couples should be treated equally."
i think this step that he's made is something courageous, and i admire him even more for standing against what this country disaprove's of even in the crucial times of his campaigning. someone is finally facing this discrimination and trying to help the public become aware that everyone IS created equal. OBAMA 08!!!
