1. Obama publicly says that he does not support gay marriage and it infuriates me. I don't think he actually believes what he says, however, as evidenced by this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73oZ_pe1MZ8.

I think his position is more about getting full legal rights for the gay population in the best way that he knows how, and unfortunately we live in a society where the best way might just be to do it without admitting that's what we're doing.

2. I have a lot of trouble believing that the anti-gay position is "conservative." I'm probably in denial (especially because I don't personally know any democrats who are anti-gay), but I generally try to think that conservatives are primarily concerned with a reduction in business taxes, big defense, immigration control, etc. I can't wrap my mind around an entire political party hating gay people (and I really can't see how denying rights to people who love each other is anything other than hateful).

3. Not that you brought it up, but I also have a LOT of trouble understanding something about Christianity. We hear a lot about a loving God (in fact, he so loved the the world that he gave his only son...), but I don't understand how we can call this person/entity loving if s/he openly discriminates against people because of whom those people love. If God is all about love, how come gay people aren't allowed to express love?

The period at the end made it not work.
