SocraticGadfly: Obama once favored gay marriage

Obama once favored gay marriage

The Politico refers us to a 1996 questionnaire response to Outlines, a Chicago gay and lesbian newspaper.

Point No. 6?

“I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”

Think Rick Warren will ask him about that just before giving the inauguration invocation?

Windy City Times, which took over Outlines, has more in its current issue (PDF).
(T) hat article was never challenged or corrected by Obama.

No, but he’s backtracked from his positions since then.

That said, I can accept Obama being Just.Another.Politician.™, but wish he could be a bit more honest about it, and that the Obamiacs would start putting down their Kool-Aid glasses.
