[quote=Anonymous]I think the reason that you found "comfort" in Obama's "evolving" position is that it made you feel like you could be a good, educated, liberal person, yet still hold a discriminatory view against gay marriage. I think that deep down, you know that it's not right to block gay marriage, and yet on some instinctual level, you're still repelled by it. And that's ok -- society has ingrained a reaction of disgust at homosexuality, it's not your fault (especially if you are a man, where issues of "manliness" are so emphasized). What you need to consider is whether your instinctive feeling of disgust is a valid basis upon which to make legal standards, such as marriage. I mean, I feel disgust when I see a terribly deformed person, or a reallly old person, but that doesn't mean I want them locked up. See what I mean?[/quote]
