Inhalt
Gay rights has been a defining progressive issue of Barack Obama's presidency: Congress repealed »Don't Ask, Don't Tell« in 2010 with his strong support, and in 2011, he instructed his Justice Department to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act, helping to pave the way for a series of Supreme Court decisions that ultimately legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. This succession of victories is astonishing by any measure - and is especially incredible considering that when Obama first took office he still viewed gay rights as politically toxic. In 2008, for instance, he opposed full marital rights for same-sex couples, calling marriage a »sacred union« between a man and a woman. It wasn't until 2012, in the heat of his reelection campaign, that Obama finally embraced marriage equality.
