Gays ask Obama why he is against gay marriage?
”Barack is an intellectual guy, and I know he has been thinking through his position on gay marriage, and what is fair for all people. But he is just not there with us on this issue.”
Michael Bauer, a fundraiser and adviser for Democratic presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama [D-IL]. According to this New York Times, the answer to why Obama does not support gay marriage is his religion, while his opponent, Senator John McCain [R-AZ], is guided more by generational and cultural reasons than religion.
