Obama Endorses Gay Marriage, Do You?

Barack Obama has a history of presidential firsts.

He was the first black president elected in America. And now, according to The Huffington Post, he’s the first sitting president to declare support for same-sex marriage.

"I've always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally," the post quotes Obama as saying.

How much of a political impact Obama’s action will have remains to be seen. Huffington Post reports that issue lies largely in the hands of states and the courts.
