Seems states are in chaos on the issue, some say marry gays, while other say stick a fork in it, it is done. Next session look for gay marriage to be taken away from the states and made federal law.
Is Same Sex Marriage Next?
In an interview with The Advocate, President Obama sounds like he might soon publicly support same sex marriage.
Said Obama: "I'm wrestling with this. My attitudes are evolving on this. I have always firmly believed in having a robust civil union that provides the rights and benefits under the law that marriage does. I've wrestled with the fact that marriage traditionally has had a different connotation. But I also have a lot of very close friends who are married gay or lesbian couples."
"And squaring that circle is something that I have not done yet, but I'm continually asking myself this question and I do think that -- I will make this observation -- that I notice there is a big generational difference. When you talk to people who are in their 20s, they don't understand what the holdup is on this, regardless of their own sexual orientation. And obviously when you talk to older folks, then there's greater resistance."
