="We've got to make sure that everybody is equal under the law."=



Obama belives that marriage is between a man and a woman but he once wrote: //"I remain open to the possibility that my unwillingness to support gay marriage is misguided. I may have been infected with society's prejudices and predilections and attributed them to God."//

He supports granting civil unions for gay couples and is against a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. In March 2007, Obama initially avoided questions about the morality of homosexuality. he later went on to say that he did not belive homosexuals are immoral.

He voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment which would have officially defined marriage as "between a man and a woman." He believes decisions about same-sex marriage couples should be up to the states.
