Obama: Banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional

[Fearless]

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked President Obama whether same-sex marriage was a right under the US Constitution.

He replied: “Well, I’ve gotta tell you that, in terms of practical politics, what I’ve seen is a healthy debate taking place state by state, and not every state has the exact same attitudes and cultural mores. And I… you know, my thinking was that this is traditionally a state issue and that it will work itself out.”

But President Obama then suggested that the spirit of the US Constitution should take precedent in the equal marriage debate.

He said: ”On the other hand – what I also believe is that the core principle that people don’t get discriminated against – that’s one of our core values. And it’s in our constitution.”

Let's hope the SJC sees it this way.
