Since President Obama came out (evolved) with his support of gay marriage, there have been various comments, pro and con, from numerous religious leaders as well as elected officials. I, personally, believe that the President has deliberately put the African American community in a position of having to make a choice - that is to choose between what their religious belief is and has always been or loyalty to a man of color who happens to be the leader of the free world. Many of these African American religious leaders have said that although they do not agree with the President on this matter or even on his abortion stance, they will still support him in November. Sad, when God plays second fiddle to a mere human.
There is, however, one staunch God fearing preacher who has refused to go along to get along because he loves the Lord more. His name - Bishop Darryl Husband of Mt.Olivet Church in Richmond, VA. He submitted his statement to www.thesop.org
I fully recommend that you click on the above link and read his inspiring message in full. It had to be very difficult for him to take an opposing stand to the President and to make it a public statement as well. You can also go to his church website at www.lifemoreabundant-moc.org to read more about this amazing individual. May God bless him abundantly!
Also, the following link is recommended for you to look at - a great, quick video put out by the Catholic Church - equally important for ALL Christians to see:

"Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night." Psalm 1:1,2
