Obama on homosexuality

Obama claims to be a Christian. Some people believe he will be the President that will unite the two major political parties in America. Here is how Obama views the Biblical sin of homosexuality.

Story taken from Justin Taylor http://theologica.blogspot.com/
"Robert Gagnon--the leading evangelical scholar on homosexuality and the Bible--has a new article online: Barack Obama’s Disturbing Misreading of the Sermon on the Mount as Support for Homosexual Sex. On his homepage, Dr. Gagnon writes:

Regardless of how one votes on election day, it is important to be aware of how this presidential candidate interprets Scripture to fit his political views and what kind of impact this will have on his policies regarding government endorsement of, and incentives for, homosexual practice should he become president. Obama's record is clear:

Obama wants to repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which he has called “abhorrent”, even though the Act's main purpose is merely to prevent “gay marriage” adopted in one state from being foisted on all other states. Even Hillary Clinton did not come out in opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act.

In Obama's own words: "Unlike Senator Clinton, I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate. While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether."

Obama strongly opposes California’s Proposition 8, which merely limits the definition of marriage to a “marriage between a man and a woman.”

Obama has stated that he “respects” the California Supreme Court decision foisting “gay marriage” on the state.

Obama opposes any federal constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Obama strongly endorses granting every single marriage benefit to homosexual unions, not to mention every “sexual orientation” special protections law imaginable. Such legislation will make civil and cultural bigots of everyone who espouses a male-female prerequisite to sexual relations, in the workplace, at school, in the media, and throughout the public sector..."

very disturbing...just makes you wonder what will happen if (and when) he takes office. America will just get what they want and complain, like they have with everything, including the Iraqi War. We have become a Nation of Whiners. Go McCain - Palin!
