Gay Marriage

Earlier this week President Obama became the first U.S. President to come out in support of Gay Marriage, it took some balls, especially given that it's an election year and I applaud him for it, it was the right thing to do and I think that history will show that he was on the right side of this issue.  Why the uproar over this anyways?   If two people are in love and want to get married, who's business is it besides their own anyways?   What happened to all the small government ideologues who preached in favor of less government intrusion into the lives of it's citizenry?   Where have they all gone?  Shouldn't this be an issue that the Tea Party folks fight for?  Anyways, props to President Obama, this was long overdue.
