Obama has always stated he opposes same-sex marriage (he's a man and a woman only, rather Christian kinda guy) and has only spoken support for civil/domestic partnerships for gays and lesbians.

I kind of like the quiet. Feels more like this is starting to be viewed as a non-issue in many ways, as in [I]sort of normal[/I].

That is just not true and I posted earlier (Post 317) about his unequivocal PUBLIC support for same sex marriage when he was running for Senator.

He, unfortunately, changed his position b/w his time as Senator and his Presidential run.

He also belonged, when living in Chicago, to the United Church of Christ which, in 2005, "became the first mainline Christian denomination to support same-sex marriage officially when its general synod passed a resolution on Monday affirming "equal marriage rights for couples regardless of gender."
