OBAMA: I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together, when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that Dont Ask Dont Tell is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point Ive just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.

(11,816 posts)I was SO glad when I heard Malia and Sasha were going to Friends School, because I know our Friends School embraces couples of all sorts (well, as long as they can pay the insane tuition). He mentioned their friends have same-sex parents, and it's clear they made those friends at Quaker school!!!
So we Quakers are worming our liberal values into the First Family!
