37. The folks did not become more supportive without much effort on the part of many people

for many long years, most of which happened before Obama was on the national stage. Barack Obama never really opposed marriage equality, it was a stance that allowed dialog to occur, he volunteered to play naysayer. We volunteered to be the heat. Between us, we made progress.
This is the way Obama has done things since Illinois. My cousin, now passed, was an early Illinois supporter of Obama 'we argued for months, he pissed me off, then he listened, changed his mind and took up our position as his own, do not forget that when you are looking for rights when he becomes President, because he will be President. Make use of his skills.'
That's what I did, what we did. The folks who like to sing songs of Obama full time are missing out on the most useful politician ever to hold the office of President.
