Once again, what politicians think in private is completely irrelevant. How they vote, and (secondarily, though importantly in the case of presidential candidates) what they say about how they will vote in the future, is what counts.

On that measure, there is absolutely no comparison between Obama and, essentially, any current mainstream Republican politician on the issue of gay rights.

I don’t disagree with you. I am just saying that I think Romney and Gingrich play the anti gay card to get political points and honestly I think that’s scum. And I don’t think they’re identical to Obama on gay rights issues just to clear up my position. I’d like Obama to be more progressive on this issue but he has been better than McCain would be or any of the Republicans running against him. That alone is a huge plus for him in my book.
