President Obama delivered a speech on Saturday to the largest gay rights group. He praised them for the progress they have been making for the right to equal rights and he promised to to deliver on the major campaign promises that he had made. Obama says that there are still laws to change and hearts to open. Obama gave his speech to the gay rights activisits who are losing patience over the lack of change to key issues for the gay community. Obama is calling to change the law that doesn't allow gays in the millitary. He has commited to ending the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Obama would like the Defense of Marriage Act to be repealed and the Domestic Partners Benefit and Obligations Act to be passed. He said that it was important for the gay community to continue to speak out for what they believe.
In my opinion I don't believe that marriage is for anyone. I believe that it was for one man and one woman. By Obama changing the laws he will be offending many in our nation. I do think that anyone who wants to serve in our military should be allowed to, but not if it will be distracting to the soldiers. Just like woman can't serve on the front lines to prevent the men from being distracted and wanting to save them, if a gay man becomes a distraction than they shouldn't be allowed to serve on the front lines either.
