This week, President Obama announced his personal support for same-sex marriage. The endorsement came a day after North Carolina voters passed a constitutional amendment that bans gay marriage in their state.
So, we want to know - what does Obama's announcement mean to you? Will it make any difference in your life?

I am a gay man, but I am NOT a second class citizen!I just hope and pray that God has mercy on you when you die.
Ronald you are being too nice to them
Wanna leave the decision about gay marriage to the churches?
Ask all the children who were molested how that worked out.
Gay people have reprobate minds. They hide behind the approval of public opinion that supports them. Practice that in the middle east.
Christ would not demand Gays be treated as 2nd class citizens.
Yes I'm tired of hearing the majority have spoken . Yes they have all through history until someone speaks up to right the wrong . Women would still not be allowed to vote. Segregation would still be in the south ,slavery for that matter . Governments job is not to decide who we sleep with nor tell women if they can have abortions or not etc. People use their religious beliefs to imprison and stomp on others civil rights . Sometimes the supreme court steps up and does the right thing. One day gays will have equal rights.
Well said. Yours is a voice of reason. Thank you.
However, one thing that you must remember. Mans laws do not trump God's laws and mans laws do not decide heaven or hell after death. Only God's laws do. If I had to put a wager on it, I would rather go with God's laws, than risk total isolation from God and end up in hell.
Gay people came out of closets. What in the world were they doing there the whole time?? Yes they came out of closets and now they need to get in to heaven.
No honest person would get married in this stranger society.
Dont forget that gay people used to live in closets and now they are demmanding their rights.. what a joke
Because worrying about what consenting adults are doing behind closed doors is totally important to the future of the country.
No really, these states aren't banning being GAY (though they probably would if they could), they're simply banning gay MARRIAGE. What exactly does that have to do with *anyone* besides those getting married?
It's not as if marriage is very sanctimonious anymore, what with divorce being nearly as popular.
All I want is legal recognition and rights from the government. Call it a union, partnership, marriage, I don't care. Now, for all those "Christians" out there, I'm a gay male and accept Christ as my savior, which in turn is supposed to make me a "Christian", however, I am more ashamed to be called Christian than I ever would to be called gay. All of the judgment that is passed makes me sick. I pray, and I keep my prayers between myself and God. No one else. I don't have to prove to anyone how Christian I am. I don't have to convince God that I love him. He already knows. Everyone is so foolish, trying to be more Christian than each other. He doesn't care. He cares about how you treat others around you. Love one another!
Keep living a good life and showing respect and love to others. In the end, that's what God really wants.
Living in closets is proven by gay people to be very bad for your mental health. It can twist your mind and do unnatural things.
You seem to have a real obsession with closets, do you happen to be in one now?
Then let's outlaw divorce.
I agree, then these Bi.ble thu.mpers will get their panties in an uproar that THEIR rights are being violated...
that would be PRICELESS
The real enemies of traditional marriages are divorce, alcohol, drugs and domestic violence.
And money or the lack of it
Amen.
The people who oppose marriage equality today are going to look just as ignorant and backward as those who opposed integration fifty years ago.
General Sherman should have finished the job
