I love President Obama's response in announcing his support of gay marriage after North Carolina Passed the constitutional amendment saying marriage can only be between a man and a woman, as well as banning same-sex civil unions. This issue has always been one thing I couldn't believe he was not decisive on supporting, so I appreciate the following clip from ABC news and article in the NY Times with him stating that his realization came when he saw people working hard for and with him, his neighbors, friends, etc. that have children in same sex relationships that aren't given equal rights. I'm sure there is more behind the politics of it all but this is a huge step.
