President Obama opposes Amendment 1

President Obama released a statement opposing Amendment 1 in North Carolina.

Here it is via Cameron French, his NC campaign spokesman:

 “While the president does not  weigh in on every single ballot measure in every state, the record is clear that the President has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same sex couples. That’s what the North Carolina ballot initiative would do – it would single out and discriminate against committed gay and lesbian couples – and that’s why the President does not support it.”  

Yes, he's evolving.
