Actively contributing to anti-gay causes is not the same thing as being on the fence about gay marriage.



He wasn't "on the fence about it". He's just changed his position more often than some people change their tires.

Obama was for same-sex marriage in 1996, "undecided" in 1998, opposed in 2004 and 2008, and for it again in 2012.

Unambiguously.


Correct or not, that's irrelevant to the point I was making. The farthest he has ever gone against gay marriage is to say that he personally believed marriage was between a man and a woman. He never campaigned against it and even when personally opposed to it, consistently said that legislation like DOMA was unnecessary. That's hardly equivalent to giving $1000 to prop 8.
