Okay, it’s official.
As Igor Volsky noted:
The president last made news on the freedom to marry 560 days ago, when he told progressive journalists at the White House that he is evolving towards greater acceptance.
Obama’s remarks today bring him full circle to his position in 1996, when he was running for the Illinois state Senate. In response to a questionnaire from Chicago’s Outlines gay newspaper, he proclaimed, “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”
Well, Barack Obama is still several flip-flops shy of his Republican opponent on this and many other issues, and more importantly, he landed in the right position, one he will never have to abandon.
