Obama says that the federal government will no longer defend the ban on gay marriages. Obama has voiced his opinion to the Defense of Marriage Act before, but never has stated an opinion about its constitutionality. Evan Wolfson, President and Founder of Freedom to Marry was happy with Obama's decision and believes it is a big step towards ending the discrimination of gay marriage. I personally don't really have a side when it comes to whether gay marriage should be allowed. I don't mind gay couples but when it comes to marriage I'm not sure if I am against it or not. Religion plays a big role on whether gay marriage should be allowed but at the same time, people should have the freedom to be together as any other couple.
