Presidential Candidate says Obama statement on gay marriage changes nothing - West Palm Beach Libertarian | Examiner.com - Karl Dickey:
May 12, 2012 - "Libertarian nominee for President and former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson today said he’s 'disappointed' with President Obama’s position on gay marriage. Obama told ABC Wednesday he would let each individual state decide the gay marriage question instead of seeking federal protection of the right to marry. Johnson noted that more than 30 states already ban same sex marriage in one way or another....
"In a statement, Gary Johnson said, 'Instead of insisting on equality as a U.S. Constitutional guarantee, the President has thrown this question back to the states. When the smoke clears, Gay Americans will realize the President’s words have gained them nothing today, and that millions of Americans in most states will continue to be denied true marriage equality . I guess the President is still more worried about losing Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and Virginia than he is in doing the right thing.... Where is the leadership? While I commend him for supporting the concept of gay marriage equality, I am profoundly disappointed in the President.'"
