    Everyone has the same Bill of Rights and all people should be treated equally so why debate the reason of his public release and support now?? He now supports it, the NOW and WHY doesn't matter so just be thankful! Enough said.

    I think he is saying this to get re-elected I mean it's funny how he waited until now to say this when the controversy has been going on for years now.

    Why didn't he make a statement or take a stance or do something about it when first elected. OH WAIT!! He was elected already, is there a presidential election coming up soon?? He wouldn't be pandering for votes.

    I think he is a hypocrite and he is just being a TYPICAL politician during an election year! He KNOWS he has lost NC and he needs other States to make up for it. Anything to get elected.

    This is a huge victory for the gay community. The TOP DOG in our nation says LGBT people should be treated equal, and more than any legal or political action, they needed to hear that. Especially LGBT youth, need to know they can be safe and accepted in this country!

    Even though he did it a little late under political pressure - very happy to hear the President come out in support of gay marriage.
