While the country is a different place, its not that different. Hatred of gays is still incredibly strong and that hate stems directly from religion. Obama, much like many democratic candidates, has invoked religion as a necessity to gain office. Like it or not, America is full of Christian kooks and you must placate them in order to win.

I would not expect him to rub the crazies the wrong way in the first term. Clinton did the same thing. By the time his second term was over, the right hated him.
