New England has been able to move forward because the people were already convinced that there's nothing wrong with homosexuality. Until we can do that in all the blue states, it wouldn't be politically smart for President Obama to move on the issue. It's a real shame, too, because there are a lot of people that are victimized by homosexual inequality.
