This week I read about Obama and his take on gay rights and activists. The night before a huge gay rights rally in Washinghton Obama gave a sppech that some say was historic. In the speech Obama openly supported gay rights and gay marriage. Discussing the "dont ask dont tell" policy withoin the military and the fact that gay couples should have the same rights and responsibilites.
The gays feel like the government is not moving fast enough in this effort but Obama encouraged them that everything is being done, there is just alot to do, and to keep pursuing the policies that they support. Obama gave his word that he was urging Congress to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act and to pass the Domestic Partners Benefit and Obligations Act. Obama will pass this into a law and is set to pass.
