Absolutely. However, I believe that it was a smoke screen to ensure the conservative vote during the last Presidential election. Unfortunatly it really showed how unfriendly the current public is toward LGBTQ issues.

Due to separation of powers between the branches of government (Presidential/Executive, Congress/Legislative, and Judicial) I do not feel frightened, and only slightly worried.

Also, many politicians are experts at telling people what they want to hear, without divulging their true beliefs.

An example is the following quote from a politician regarding same sex marriage...

"With respect to the question of relationships, my general view is freedom means freedom for everyone ... People ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to."

The quote was made by Vice President Dick Cheney.

Ever notice we get stuck with the president who favors abortion. If there was a president that favored gay marriage and was against abortion, we'd probably be able to marry in all states.

Doesn't phase me anymore. You can have a president or presidential candidate say they are for gay marriage or gay rights, but will not do anything for us in fear of upsetting a certain base in their party.

Frightened, no...concerned, yes. Although he does not have control, he has a lot of influence, so it could go very badly, should he get the conservatives and christian extremists in an uproar.

of course...when he made such a big issue of it in his campaign...and apparently made it "cool" to be a homophobe. thankfully, he doesn't have much time left....and his administration is so corrupt that that is only one of too many screw-ups to count. he's made this country look foolish.

No, not really. Because the president doesn't have much control over things like that, really

No his time will pass and I like burritos.

meh, he's lost a lot of credibility

No
