Barack Obama, in an ABC news interview, has declared himself in favor of same sex marriage. This is a reversal of his 2008 position.
Obama says the change was the result of an evolution in his thinking. He said that originally he thought that Civil Unions would be sufficient but that now he recognizes that they are not.
Well, it’s about time Ollie. Better late than never I suppose.
Is this a politically good move? I honestly don’t know. But the way I figure it, if you’re going to go down, you might as well go down swinging.
The point is that, politically expedient or not, it’s the right thing to do especially given the overwhelming approval of an anti-gay marriage amendment in North Carolina on Tuesday. Holding the Democratic convention there isn’t looking like such a great idea at the moment.
So the battle continues.
