Barack Obama's Support of Gay Marriage


  

U.S. President Barack Obama is featured on the cover of Newsweek Magazine (available today) with a rainbow halo over his head, with the caption The First Gay President.  This after President Obama  announced last week that he supports Gay Marriage in the United States.

The article in Newsweek is written by gay writer Andrew Sullivan, who is a self described political conservative.  Sullivan's story analyzes the Presidents change of heart regarding gay marriage. 

Obama changed his position regarding gay marriage and announced last week that "afters years of lengthy discussions with friends and family, including his own wife and two daughters , he now personally believes that gays and lesbians should have the right to marry."

Political opponent Mitt Romney doesn't share those same thoughts, stating he feels that "marriage is between one man and one woman".

Many feel that this stance will cause Obama to lose support and votes from the Black churches.  

Does Obama's support of gay marriage change your vote?
