Week 2 Discussion #1

President Obama’s position is inconsistent with the fact that he opposes legalizing same-sex marriage but supports civil unions and equal rights for same-sex couples. He is trying to be neutral because I believe he is doing so to be accepted by both sides and as a President of this nation, he needs to do that. I believe he is not trying to choose any side on this topic because it can greatly change people’s perspective of him whether he chooses to support or deny same-sex marriage, either way he will be called out for his decision on whether he legalizes same-sex marriage or not. As of right now, his position is very inconsistent but only because I believe he is doing so to stay neutral.

I think Obama might respond on a neutral standpoint to Nava and Dawidoff’s statement. He will respect their views on same-sex marriage but will respond neutrally to their argument because of the fact that this is a sensitive topic and he wants both sides of the nation’s heterosexual and homosexual to accept him.
