Transcript: Robin Roberts ABC News Interview With President Obama
Benito answers a question about sodomites being allowed to play "house" with each other
...At a certain point, I've just concluded that-- for me personally, it is
important for me to go ahead and affirm that-- I think same-sex couples
should be able to get married. Now-- I have to tell you that part of my
hesitation on this has also been I didn't want to nationalize the issue.
There's a tendency when I weigh in to think suddenly it becomes
political and it becomes polarized.
And what you're seeing is, I think, states working through this issue--
in fits and starts, all across the country. Different communities are
arriving at different conclusions, at different times. And I think
that's a healthy process and a healthy debate. And I continue to believe
that this is an issue that is gonna be worked out at the local level,
because historically, this has not been a federal issue, what's
recognized as a marriage.
Racist!
ROBIN ROBERTS: Well, Mr. President, it's-- it's not being worked out on
the state level. We saw that Tuesday in North Carolina, the 30th state
to announce its ban on gay marriage.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Well-- well-- well, what I'm saying is is that
different states are coming to different conclusions. But this debate is
taking place-- at a local level. And I think the whole country is
evolving and changing. And-- you know, one of the things that I'd like
to see is-- that a conversation continue in a respectful way.
I think it's important to recognize that-- folks-- who-- feel very
strongly that marriage should be defined narrowly as-- between a man and
a woman-- many of them are not coming at it from a mean-spirited
perspective. They're coming at it because they care about families.
And-- they-- they have a different understanding, in terms of-- you
know, what the word "marriage" should mean. And I-- a bunch of 'em are
friends of mine-- you know, pastors and-- you know, people who-- I
deeply respect...
Oh-oh. It must be election time. He's droppin' letters to get street cred.
* An Asian presiphant, of course. An African presiphant would be racist.
