Actively contributing to anti-gay causes is not the same thing as being on the fence about gay marriage.

- charlieh 13y agoHe wasn't "on the fence about it". He's just changed his position more often than some people change their tires. Obama was for same-sex marriage in 1996, "undecided" in 1998, opposed in 2004 and 2008, and for it again in 2012. Unambiguously.
- thinkpad20 13y agoCorrect or not, that's irrelevant to the point I was making. The farthest he has ever gone against gay marriage is to say that he personally believed marriage was between a man and a woman. He never campaigned against it and even when personally opposed to it, consistently said that legislation like DOMA was unnecessary. That's hardly equivalent to giving $1000 to prop 8.
- charlieh 13y agoAs I said to the other poster, your position appears to be this: Giving money to politicians who are against same-sex marriage: bad. Actually being a politician who's against same-sex marriage: perfectly fine. That's quite a high tolerance for cognitive dissonance you have going on there, dude.
