Most of my dark skinned people are not comfortable with homosexuality, the reasons vary, but it is mostly because of Christian Churches they go to where they learn Jesus does not like it or something. White skin people don't seem to realize that quite a few dark skin people are really into the whole Jesus thing.
This is America. People should have the right to do as they please and not be restricted instutitonally from doing so.
IT doesn't matter what their background is.
Not everyone is in favor of laisse faire cultural deviancy. Complain, cry, kick and scream--but some aren't going to agree with the "normalization" process of homosexuality. You want to marry your dog? Oh well, Democracy in progress isn't going to green light it.
It's the way they've always played the game. When someone accuses them of something they know to be true, they turn around and say, "No, YOU are the ones who are the TRUE bigots, racists, homophobes", et al.
Notice how he was still in favor of civil unions, and now says he didn't realize civil unions offer fewer rights & benefits compared to marriage - hence his change in opinion. That seems like a logical progression to me, and it's one he shares with many people around the world. Otherwise, how do you explain that support for SSM has increased like 15-20% in the last decade? I don't think everyone is a flip-flopping politician, they have just thought through the issue and changed their perspective over the years. Maybe they met a nice, normal gay couple who opened their eyes, maybe they found some research that altered their views, or whatever... it happens to all of us at one time or another, and not just in relation to this topic.
P.S. There's also the possibility he's always been in favor, and was just saying what he was told to say. That's what politicians do, in case you haven't realized by now! (and the reason I refer to all of them as puppets)

That's fine, and you can feel/respond however way you like to this, but you and anyone else who feels the way you do is Un-American, illogical and hypocritical for feeling the way you do on this issue.
To institutionalize a prejudice against a group just because you find what they want to freely do as citizens as "repulsive" is idiotic and repulsive. It was when whties did it to blacks and it is with gays now.
I find weed smokers "repulsive", it doens't mean I don't strongly support their right to legally smoke weed as Americans.

So, you think same-sex marriage is equivalent to marrying one's dog?
