I'm dang happy that he put himself on the spot in support of this type of marriage! He will be losing more votes than he gains from the gay community. I know some Texas Democrats and Bostonian Blacks that voted him in the first time that are going to be quite disgusted by the way he made history this time.
I don't doubt the generalities of history you stated, just your belief that this country is somehow going to make an about face and validate your opposition to marriage equality.
Finally, obama has come out of the closet..! Not good news for the moose woman....

Judging by the outpouring of contributions (to Obama's campaign) since this declaration, he'll be gaining as many votes as he loses - if not more. I think this will only help his case, but I guess we'll see in November.

When the SJC stated that it would not consider the use of civil unions as appropriate, Governor Romney called for a statewide vote to allow the people to decide
We've heard from the court, but not from the people. The people should not be excluded from a decision as fundamental to our society as the definition of marriage - Mitt Romney

Funny, that's what I think whenever the religious right opens their mouth - or in the case of this forum, types on a keyboard.
