1. Watching the Administration dance around this issue is making me sick to my stomach.

4. Does he want to get married?

5. Doesn't he deserve the right to?

2. Maybe someone needs to show Anderson Cooper THE LIST.

3. Would love to see his response to it, in that case

6. But really now . . .

. . . Isn't Anderson Cooper, of all people, whining about the President's ambiguous stance on gay marriage, just a tad rich?

Actually, I think Cooper is in the throes of an existential conflict among the various roles he plays in life. As a mainstream news media personality, he is in a profession in which he is expected to avoid "becoming the story"; as the scion of the Vanderbilt family, he hails from a social class which places a very high value on, and is extremely protective of, its privacy; and as a gay man, he was born into a generation for whom the suggestion that anyone should be forced to hide his/her sexuality is abhorrent. I think he's having a bit of trouble balancing the conflicting demands.

7. while I appreciate your innuendo

Let's keep the focus where it belongs, squarely on the PRESIDENT.

8. Amen to that!

The closer election day gets, the louder the excuses will become that the President can't come right out and support gay rights because it's an election year. We've all been there before.
