The biggest problem here is that gay rights has been turned into a wedge issue and politicians are forced to walk a tight rope down the middle at the risk of alienating support on one side or the other. Sadly its forced the question of gay rights into realm of opinion instead of law, something to be opined about in stump speeches and trivialized in political ads rather then being debated over law books.
Obamas opinion on gay rights shouldn't matter, nor should anybody else's. The question should be weather or not the govt has a compelling reason to deny certain rights to a group of citizens.
