http://pewforum.org/religion08/compare.php?Issue=Gay_MarriageObama and Clinton both have opposed a federal amendment banning gay marriage; Giuliani and McCain did as well- it is interesting that nearly all of the candidates have opposed this ban, but have not actually supported gay marriage. Clearly, they realize that it would be wrong to amend the constitution to outlaw it, so they must have reasons as to why they did that- some of the candidates, such as Obama, for example, seem somewhat torn as to whether they are even against it. Why not just be okay with it? I do not understand why this has turned into such a huge deal... is it going to effect other peoples' lives if homosexuals want to get married? Most of the candidates do not support this, but support this, have changed their mind about that... why is it do difficult to be open to the idea and just go for something? I feel as though you should be strong enough in what you believe to be one way or another if you are a presidential candidate, but I suppose this issue is too controversial for them to be able to just pick a side.
