 Obama’s ‘Evolving’ Position on Same-Sex MarriagePosted on Dec 24, 2010
President Obama’s take on gay marriage may get less absurd. Obama told The Advocate that his view is “evolving” and he struggles with his oft-repeated belief that marriage ought to be between a man and a woman (because such marriages never fail and are the will of the same supreme being who digs slavery). —PZS

Keep in mind that the issue of same-sex marriage came up in the context of whether homosexual soldiers will be allowed to marry in states where such marriages are now legal, in the context of the DADT-repeal implementation. Keep in mind also that the no-marriage provision of DADT did not say anything about “evolving” views of the commander-in-chief. It accepted a same-sex marriage of a soldier as proof of behavior that demanded his or her expulsion from the armed forces. The DADT law was totally neutral about same-sex marriage outside the armed forces. Why Mr. Obama decided to inject his own prejudices into this legal affair is alarming. Given the views of Mr. Obama I predict that the implementation rules of DADT repeal will rule that homosexual soldiers will be allowed to marry when same-sex marriage is allowed in every State of the Union. It would have been infinitely better had DADT been repealed as unconstitutional by a Federal Judge.

The Administration is just now waking up to gay marriage like the New England states and much of the free world. Speaking of civil liberties, check out http://OutMilitary.com - a new social network that just launched for gay & lesbian service members & supporters…
