The accompanying article will be written by Andrew Sullivan, who is
openly gay. Newsweek forwarded a preview of Sullivan’s piece to
Politico:.........
It’s easy to write off President Obama’s announcement of
his support for gay marriage as a political ploy during an election
year. But don’t believe the cynics. Andrew Sullivan argues that this
announcement has been in the making for years. “When you step back a
little and assess the record of Obama on gay rights, you see, in fact,
that this was not an aberration. It was an inevitable culmination of
three years of work.” And President Obama has much in common with the
gay community. “He had to discover his black identity and then reconcile
it with his white family, just as gays discover their homosexual
identity and then have to reconcile it with their heterosexual family,”
Sullivan writes.
