From The Advocate:
Gov. Chris Christie defended his veto of marriage equality in New Jersey by saying he's just siding with President Obama, who he says is "silent" and cowardly on the issue.
But when Washington Post editorial writer Jonathan Capehart, who is gay, came from off-set during Morning Joe to correct the governor and confront him about whether he agrees with the list of things Obama has actually done on marriage, it was the governor who suddenly wouldn't answer.
For the whole story...
Obama has repealed DADT, stopped defending DOMA, has linked our foreign policy with gay rights, and issued many many executive orders protecting the rights of LGBT. Just like Lincoln who gradually adopted the abolition of slavery as his cause, Obama is edging closer to marriage equality each day. Obama should be criticized for hedging on the issue, but, also, he has done more for LGBT Americans than all the previous presidents put together. Governor Christie has done virtually nothing to protect the rights of LGBT New Jersey residents. --Joe
