Personally I don't like the word attack to demonstrate how important it is to get civil rights! But if attack is what it takes then so be it! Through history minorities have had to fight to receive basic human rights. There was the women movement to vote, blacks to be accepted as equals and now gays to have a right to live as couple and receive benefits’ as such!
What amazes me is that we actually have a President who is of the 20th century and with a strike of a pen could resolve the issue. It could be his flip-flop on this issue like others could explain his dropping in the polls and why the republicans are making a comeback.
Not that we prefer the republicans, but we dislike a president who promises but does not deliver. I don't personally understand the issue! Most of Europe has dealt with this issue without a national revolt, Canada has addressed and even Mexico came to terms with it.
What we need is a President and congress with balls to represent all the people and provide rights to all. I don't believe any religious leader including Christ ever mentioned anything about gay people and from history only Hitler marked and killed gay people. So if we are to embrace human decency and respect along with acceptance of all we would deal and resolve the gay marriage issue and move on!
