Obama on Same-Sex


               Barak Obama may have opposed to legalizing same-sex marriage on a federal level yet supports civil unions and equal rights for same-sex couples. Whether, his beliefs are consistent in equal rights and opportunities for all people, regardless of their sexual orientation. The Federal Supreme court and civil court differs yet are similar in United States of America. From civil court to State court and Federal court in general. The Federal Supreme court may present a degree of Defense Of Marriage Act, which has an argument, this is what the system is built on. Well, no court is really above the other.
                The federal level makes up the federal government to consist of the supreme law the land. Furthermore, it inquires that all American states shall abide by Federal Constitution, or Law. Civil law is amongst persons and organizations; as in this situation same sex-marriage is someone’s legal status. Although, 38 states have adopted constitution and/or law against same-sex marriage. Some of these states have adopted “defense of marriage” meaning that marriage is defined as between a man and a woman.
                Six states have created a legal statue which recognizes same-sex marriage. Although, at the federal level does not recognizing that it is legal. Therefore, not giving the full benefits the homosexual who get married. On the other hand, same-sex marriage has been tried many time at the supreme level there seem to not be a solution on how Federal law passing this law. While Obamas standing point may seem like giving up; it may be for each state to choice how it interprets same-sex marriage. There is not concrete evidence to why he chooses to agree with same-sex marriage at civil level, rather than the federal level.
                While each state has its own Pro-life and Pro-choice majorities vote.  The states are left with the fact of choosing over same-sex marriage. Therefore, it is a capital issue, it takes same sex couples to feel unequal. Barak Obama’s stand should be on the federal level also.
