Just recently President Obama was forced to propose his opinion about gay couples and theirs rights:
"As a presidential candidate, Mr. Obama said he would “fight hard” for the rights of gay couples. As a senator, he sponsored legislation that would have provided health benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees." -NY Times

This surprised me when I read this, not because of him supporting it, but because just thinking back even four years ago a subject as controversial as gay’s rights. It surprising how far we have come as a nation and much we have evolved together to accept everyone no matter what preference they have to gender attraction. Stories such as this, and people such as our own President, support intense social issues like the above just gives a deeper hope to our future in being comfortable with every type of person, black, white, gay, or straight. Just another push for our media!!
