Obama: ‘At This Point’ He’s Ready To Let Gays Die For America, But Not Marry

Barack Obama said yesterday, before signing the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, that he was “not going to make more news” by trumping this week’s big gay news by stating he was suddenly going to back same-sex marriage, an issue on which he’s said his views are “evolving.” Asked about that position again at Wednesday’s post-repeal presser, Obama repeated that his “feelings are constantly evolving” — but still believes is between a man and a woman. Which means, for the time being, Obama publicly supports gay men and women who want to die for their county, but not gay men and women who want to marry the ones they love.
