I admit, I never thought he'd have the guts
President Obama has officially declared his support for gay marriage. AllOut is creating an online thankyou card. Here's their message for sharing it:
Dear friend,
President Barack Obama just became the first US president in history to voice support for marriage equality. In an interview today, he said "it is important for me personally to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex couples should be able to get married". The implications of this, both social and political, are huge for the US and the world.
But before the backlash, before opponents try to kill the momentum this creates, we need to thank him and celebrate this moment. I just signed a massive Thank You card, ready to be delivered straight to the White House. Will you join me?
It is critical that we show support for our leaders when they stand for what is right, not only for what is easy:
