Description | Through Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, the now-president-elect has been vocal about his support for civil unions instead of same-sex marriage.
However, Obama went on the record during his 1996 run for the Illinois senate as being in support of such unions. Obama responded to a candidate questionnaire for the Chicago gay newspaper Outlines -- submitted by Advocate copy chief and then-Outlines reporter Trudy Ring. He said, "I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages." |
