28. Obama came very late, at the age of over 50, to equal rights for gays. I don't recall how you

addressed that issue. I know how most of us felt about his stated belief that marriage was between a man a woman and made our views clear with phone calls, emails, petitions etc until he finally evolved from the regressive viewpoint. How did you feel about that backwards view of Gay Marriage from the president? I don't recall if you supported and attempted to make excuses for him, as some here did amazingly

I'm also wondering how you feel about Dems who go to Right Wing hate sites and post vile shit about Gays, the most vile and hateful, false garbage to rouse up the hatred of bigots posting here on DU while they held those views and, until they were exposed and had to admit their life long 'misunderstandings' of the issue, had the hypocritic gall to lecture life-long defenders of those rights here on DU, and the gall to lecture this pope who has moved that centuries old institution several centuries FORWARD on the issue in just a few months?

While most DUers were disgusted to find they had such a person in their midst, airc, you were one of the few defenders of that person.

So I'm puzzled that when the issue arose here re the president and regarding having people with those admitted viewpoints here, you defended them and why you are so vocal now. Is it the issue itself, or just your own bias using the issue to attack a large group of people you apparently despise?

I see a huge inconsistency here, but I could be wrong.
