I think we need to work harder on educations and acceptance in regards to the Gay marriage issue. I think we need to work even harder on an alternative "gateway" national public policy on civil unions that are separate but equal to traditional marriage.

Here are a couple links on different Obama interviews on this issue. One on the Logo channel and the other on the Christian Broadcasting Network channel. I really do think Obama will take this issue on in the near future. You can tell from how he speaks of his mother and fathers marriage as not being legal at the time in many states that he understands the concept and connects with it.

Regardless of what Obama does, we still need to push forward, be seen and educate people that the stereotypes and fear they are being fed is not the reality for 98% of the Gay community in America.

Perhaps that explains why such a large population of those African American voters that did come out to vote were against gay marriage.

If they cant see the correlation between their having their rights refused for centuries and us having ours denied maybe we should be working on educating people in general why there are similarities between the two.

Instead the gay community has taken itself to fighting the mormon church and boycotting companies - Yet people wonder why prop8 passed, when we cant even come up with an organized method of getting our message across that matters, instead of throwing hissy fits to anyone we can target as a group.... Feeding the stereotype.
