In Berlin, Obama Says Treating Gays Equally Increases Liberty for All - on Top Magazine
President Barack Obama reiterated his support for gay marriage while speaking at Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate on Wednesday during the G8 Summit.
Obama spoke to an estimated crowd of 6,000 invited guests about freedom, both in Europe and the Middle East, and the need for a reduction in nuclear stockpiles.
The president also drew applause when he reiterated his support for gay rights.
“When we respect the faiths practiced in our churches and synagogues, our mosques and our temples, we’re more secure. When we welcome the immigrant with his talents or her dreams, we are renewed. When we stand up for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters and treat their love and their rights equally under the law, we defend our own liberty as well.
