President Obama Supports Same-Sex Marriage

Yesterday, in an interview with ABC News, President Obama said, "I think same sex couples should be able to get married."

With that one statement, he made it clear that he believes that it’s wrong to prevent couples who are in loving, committed relationships from getting married.
