Why didn't Obama "fight" for gay marriage when he DID have the majority of Congress?

No, I'm not saying that.

He didn't fight for gay marriage because it won't get him re-elected. Obamacare has a chance at getting him re-elected if he can convince enough people that it's actually a viable healthcare solution.

Maybe because this is not a federal issue? But who would expect a constitution scholar to know what he can and can not do legally.

Hi Max.

I must admit, he is getting a little more subtle. No rants on how President Obama needs to get off the corner and pull up his pants.

He is getting more subtle. I didn't catch it at first.

I knew it was Max from the first post.

New usernames that immediately get into discussions of politics, race, etc. are almost always Max.

Like honeybadger the International Minority Sophomore Big 10 Rushee who already has his shortlist, though he hasn't even met some? Does that not scream troll to anyone else? The only thing missing is a sexual orientation factor.

I have a difficult time gauging trolls for NPC and NIC threads. It has to be super-overt.

LaneSig gave a serious reply though.

Same-sex couples sue over adoption rights in North Carolina

This is not about President Obama but this thread is the most recent discussion of this topic.

Next up 3 or more parents.

This stemmed from a bio Mom who was in a same sex relationship. She was impregnated by a man who had an affair with her while she was separated from her same sex partner.

Slippery slope? "I do believe" to quote the Lion in the Wizard of Oz.

OMG - a child has THREE people instead of TWO to love, care for, and financially support them??? That's terrible.:rolleyes:

I'm generally pretty conservative, but let's face it, while there could be instances of using the child as a pawn, for the most part these kids would have multiple parents because everyone WANTS the child.

Ironically, the same people outraged over this are likely the same ones who look down on single parents as well.

I was at a graduation party last weekend and saw the cutest twin girls who were the daughters of a same sex couple (females). One partner was artificially inseminated with the sperm of the other partner's brother. I thought it was a clever way to include genetics from both moms' families. Apparently the brother didn't have any kids and is happy to be the uncle/dad of these babies. It does cause some confusion with familial relationships because the babies are biologically the nieces of the one partner but they won't have to worry about custody issues or anything ever.
