Able to have a family, to marry if you want to. and i don t think the government should be in that business. and of denying people the fundamental right to marry. so ben, will democrats make this issue a part of their platform at this year s national convention and if the president does win re-election, does that mean he has evolved? evolving is over and we ll see movement on this in the second term? first of all, the president has done more to advance gay rights than any other president. he kept his promise to repeal don t ask/don t tell which wasn t in the interest of our national security. he secured hospital visitation eights for gay partners. and there are leaders across the country in many states that have legalized gay marriage. he s taken steps at the federal level to oppose divisive and discriminatory efforts in the states. there s a big tent party. and that will play out during the process. but make no mistake about the ....
