I am not exactly sure how private businesses can be mandated when we are told that marriage would have to vary from state to state. Not sure if that made sense, but what I am trying to understand is how the government can make rules affecting private business when they supposedly can't even make a federal mandate for gay marriage. I made mention on another thread that Obama should make a human rights amendment. I guess I should have worded it better to say that I wish he would PUSH for one. He certainly does have the right to submit legislature and use his presidential powers to "strongly encourage" passage of bills, legalese, etc. I may have liked it better when he was still going to his old church. The strongly opinionated pastor may have been an asshat, but that church supports gay marriage. It is my understanding that at some point after his election Mr. Obama made the statement that his religious beliefs do not allow for gay marriage. I know before election he seemed to be very pro- gay equal rights. I fear like others, this being just another reason we "don't need gay marriage". |

I think it's a neat way to handle the problem.
