Although President Barack Obama opposes legalizing same-sex
marriage on a federal level, he shows he can be open mined. While Obama stands
strongly behind his beliefs, which were most likely influenced by the ideas
from his upbringing and religion, he still manages to shine some positivity on
this issue. He is consistent with his beliefs and equal rights for same-sex
couples by allowing civil unions. Even though all couples, homosexuals and
heterosexuals, should have the same equal rights, civil union benefits are a
step in the right direction. Obama’s actions have showed us he truly believes
in equal rights for all and will do what he can to help and support them without
compromising his beliefs.
A possible response Obama might give to Nava and Dawidoff’s
argument is his agreement and support. Even though Obama might not agree with
same-sex marriage on a federal level, he believes every one deserves basic
rights regardless of their sexual orientation.
