[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obama’s political stance was against gay marriage to until he flip flopped. All politicians go the direction that best serves them in the moment.

One of his many quotes on the topic.

“He also says, repeatedly, that he is against gay marriage. “I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman. Now, for me as a Christian — for me — for me as a Christian, it is also a sacred union. God’s in the mix,” he tells pastor Rick Warren at the Saddleback Presidential Forum”

While we’re at it, look at both of Clintons’ records. Bill signed the Defence of Marriage Act into law.

One of Hillary’s quotes: “ &quot;Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman.”

This is a non-issue for me regarding Gabbard.[/quote]

Earlier in the thread I asked if Obama ever called LGBT people “homosexual extremists” or if he caled for snd crafted legislation against same sex marriage.

I see the answer is no.[/quote]

So what if he never said those specific words? You're drawing artificial lines that are meaningless. He opposed marriage equality for years and years and years, and it was NO problem for the left. To oppose Gabbard on similar grounds is astounding hypocrisy and it's obvious for everyone to see.[/quote]

Agree.  She held those views that she grew up with from her father who also would use the term homosexual extremism, when she enlisted and got out more in the world she developed her own views.  I respect her more for that.  She wasn't picking and flip flopping on a view that would work best for her politically like our previous president, she pretty much consistently doesn't go along with party lines just for parties sake.

Since then she has &gt;copy pasted here--&gt; co-sponsored the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, co-sponsored the Restore Honor to Service Members Act, co-sponsored the Respect for Marriage Act, co-sponsored the Repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act, co-sponsored the Military Spouses Equal Treatment Act, co-sponsored the Safe Schools Improvement Act, co-sponsored the Equality Act, co-sponsored the Healthy Families Act, co-sponsored the Equality for All Resolution, signed the Marriage Equality Amicus Briefs, advocated for LGBT Housing / Privacy Rights and advocated to End Bullying and Harassment in Schools.

I'm not writing her off hastily.  I like her focus on foreign policy and as a Democrat that's tired of all the fluff our party has focused on, it's refreshing.
