Obama Jumatano tangazo ilikuwa mabadiliko ya mtazamo wake wa 2004 kuwa "ndoa ni kitu kutakaswa kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke." Wakati huo, pia alisema kuwa vyama vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe walikuwa kutosha kwa ajili ya mashoga na wasagaji Yeye uridhike. Kwamba tofauti kati ya ndoa na vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe vyama vya wafanyakazi ni sehemu tu suala la "semantiki."
According to Chicago's Daily Herald, while Obama was running for Senate in early 2004, he told the newspaper's editorial board that the gay rights struggle was comparable to the 1960s civil rights movement, saying that his father and mother wouldn't have been allowed to marry in some Southern states. Kwa mujibu wa Daily Chicago wa Herald, wakati Obama alikuwa akikimbia kwa ajili ya Seneti ya mwanzoni mwa mwaka 2004, aliiambia gazeti la bodi kuwa mashoga haki za mapambano alikuwa kulinganishwa na miaka ya 1960 harakati wa haki za kiraia, akisema kuwa baba na mama yake ingekuwa asiruhusiwe kuoa katika baadhi ya majimbo ya Kusini. "So it's not as if I'm not sympathetic to the idea that … politics shouldn't get in the way if something's right," Obama told the newspaper. "Kwa hiyo si kama nina huruma sana na wazo kwamba siasa ... haipaswi kupata njia ikiwa haki ya kitu," Obama ameliambia gazeti hilo.
But then he added that gay rights advocates had to make strategic decisions and pushing for same-sex marriage wasn't necessarily the best strategy. Lakini baadaye aliongeza kuwa watetezi wa haki za mashoga na kufanya maamuzi ya kimkakati na kusukuma kwa ndoa za jinsia moja siyo lazima mkakati bora.
“What I also tell my gay and lesbian friends is, look, if I was, you know, functioning in the early '60s trying to get the Voting Rights Act passed and the Civil Rights Act passed, then I might not lead politically with, you know, trying to reverse anti- miscegenation laws. "Ni mimi pia kuwaambia marafiki zangu mashoga na wasagaji ni, kuangalia, kama alikuwa, unajua, kazi nchini '60s mapema kujaribu kupata haki za kupiga kura ACT kupita na Haki za Kiraia ACT kupita, basi wanaweza kusababisha kisiasa na, unajua, kujaribu kurekebisha sheria ya kupambana na miscegenation. ... ... I might really focus on getting rights that are concrete and that are going to be important and politically are achievable." Nipate kweli mwelekeo juu ya kupata haki ambazo ni madhubuti na kwamba itakuwa ni ya muhimu na kisiasa ni kufikiwa. "
And as he was often to do in the next few years, he also accused opponents of same-sex marriage of trying to exploit the issue for their political advantage. Na kama alikuwa mara kwa mara ili kufanya katika miaka michache ijayo, pia watuhumiwa wapinzani wa ndoa za jinsia moja ya kujaribu kutumia suala kwa manufaa yao ya kisiasa.
“Part of this is also politics. "Sehemu ya hii pia ni siasa. ... ... This is the latest wedge issue to divide the Democratic Party. Hii ni latest kabari suala kugawanya chama cha Democratic Party. And, you know, my interest is to avoid playing on their court on this issue," he said. Na, unajua, maslahi yangu ni kuepuka kucheza kwenye mahakama zao juu ya suala hili, "alisema.
In the 2004 interview, Obama also talked about how his own faith shaped his views on the issue. Katika mahojiano mwaka 2004, Obama pia alizungumzia jinsi imani yake mwenyewe umbo maoni yake juu ya suala hilo.
"My personal philosophy is that as a Christian, I see no contradiction with embracing same-sex couples as part of our community. That's my Christian ethos. But I think others within the Christian faith can feel very differently about it," Obama said. "Falsafa yangu binafsi ni kwamba kama Mkristo, naona hakuna utata na kumuunga wapenzi wa jinsia moja kama sehemu ya jamii yetu Hiyo ni ethos yangu ya Kikristo.. Lakini nadhani watu wengine katika imani ya kikristo unaweza kuhisi tofauti sana kuhusu hilo," alisema Obama.
In August 2004, as Obama battled Republican Alan Keyes in the Senate race, his rival accused him of equivocating on the issue. Agosti 2004, kama Obama walipigana Republican Alan Keyes katika mbio Seneti, mpinzani wake wa wakimtuhumu kwa equivocating kuhusu suala hilo. But Obama's spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said, "Barack Obama is opposed to gay marriage but believes in civil unions as a policy, and secondly, our position on a constitutional amendment (limiting marriage to heterosexuals) is exactly the same position as Vice President Dick Cheney's in that it's unnecessary." Lakini msemaji wa Obama, Robert Gibbs, alisema, "Barack Obama ni kinyume na ndoa mashoga lakini anaamini katika vyama vya kiraia kama sera, na pili, msimamo wetu juu ya mabadiliko ya katiba (kikwazo ndoa na mapenzi ya jinsia tofauti) ni hasa msimamo huo kama Makamu wa Rais Dick Cheney ni kwa kuwa ni ya lazima. "
In a debate the following month with Keyes, Obama said, "I'm a Christian, and so although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman," Obama said. Katika mjadala wa mwezi uliofuata na Keyes, Obama alisema, "Mimi Mkristo, na hivyo ingawa mimi si kujaribu kuwa na imani yangu ya dini kutawala au kuamua maoni yangu ya kisiasa juu ya suala hili, mimi kuamini kwamba mila na imani yangu ya dini kusema kuwa ndoa ni kitu kutakaswa kati ya mwanamke na mwanaume, "alisema Obama.
In the 2004 campaign Obama also addressed the 1996 law signed by President Bill Clinton, the Defense of Marriage Act which says that no state shall be required to recognize marriages between persons of the same sex performed in other states. Katika kampeni 2004 Obama pia alizungumzia sheria 1996 saini na Rais Bill Clinton, Ulinzi ya Sheria ya Ndoa ambayo anasema kuwa hali hakuna watatakiwa kutambua ndoa kati ya watu wa jinsia moja kutumbuiza katika nchi nyingine.
He said in 2004 that DOMA was unnecessary because the US Constitution “does not prevent a state from refusing to recognize a marriage that is contrary to its own marriage laws." Alisema mwaka 2004 kuwa DOMA ilikuwa lazima kwa sababu Katiba ya Marekani "haina kuzuia serikali kutoka kwa kukataa kutambua kwamba ndoa ni kinyume na sheria yake ya ndoa." Katika miaka ya Obama nne katika Seneti, kulikuwa na mtu mmoja kubwa kupiga kura juu ya suala ndoa. In 2006, then-Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and other GOP conservatives pushed for an amendment to the Constitution to clarify that there was no fundamental constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry. Mwaka 2006, basi-Pennsylvania Seneta Rick Santorum na nyingine conservatives GOP kusukuma kwa ajili ya marekebisho ya Katiba kufafanua kuwa hakukuwa na msingi ya kikatiba ya haki kwa ajili ya wapenzi wa jinsia moja kuoa.
Obama voted against moving ahead with the proposed amendment. Obama kura dhidi ya kusonga mbele na marekebisho yaliyopendekezwa. “This debate is a thinly-veiled attempt to break a consensus that is quietly being forged in this country,” he said. "Mjadala huu ni jaribio thinly-kali kwa kuvunja makubaliano kuwa ni kimya kimya kuwa kughushi katika nchi hii," alisema. “A consensus between Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Red States and Blue States, that it's time for new leadership in this country - leadership that will stop dividing us, stop disappointing us, and start addressing the problems facing most Americans.” "Makubaliano kati ya Democrats na Republican, liberals na conservatives, Red Marekani na Blue wa Mataifa, kwamba ni wakati wa uongozi mpya katika nchi hii -. Uongozi kuacha kugawa yetu, kuacha kuwakatisha tamaa yetu, na kuanza kushughulikia matatizo yanayowakabili Wamarekani wengi"
He said, "I personally believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. But I also agree with most Americans, including Vice President Cheney and over 2,000 religious leaders of all different beliefs, that decisions about marriage should be left to the states as they always have been." Alisema, "Mimi binafsi naamini kuwa ndoa ni kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke Lakini pia kukubaliana na Wamarekani wengi, ikiwa ni pamoja na Makamu wa Rais Cheney na zaidi ya 2,000 viongozi wa dini wa imani zote tofauti, kwamba maamuzi juu ya ndoa iachwe kwa nchi kama. wao daima wamekuwa. "
When he ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2007 and 2008, Obama spoke at a forum sponsored by the gay advocacy group, the Human Rights Campaign. Baada ya mbio kwa ajili ya uteuzi wa Democratic urais mwaka 2007 na 2008, Obama alizungumza katika jukwaa kufadhiliwa na kundi mashoga utetezi, Haki za Binadamu Kampeni. On marriage, Obama said, “We should try to disentangle what has historically been the issue of the word 'marriage,' which has religious connotations to some people, from the civil rights that are given to couples, in terms of hospital visitation, in terms of whether or not they can transfer property or any of the other -- Social Security benefits and so forth.” Juu ya ndoa, Obama alisema, "Sisi na budi tatanua nini kihistoria imekuwa suala la neno 'ndoa,' ambayo ina connotations kidini kwa baadhi ya watu, na haki za kiraia kwamba ni kupewa kwa wanandoa, katika suala la kujiliwa hospitali, katika suala la kama au wao inaweza kuhamisha mali au yoyote ya wengine -. wa Hifadhi ya Jamii faida na kadhalika "
When HRC president Joe Solomonese suggested that Obama's stand sounded to gays and lesbians like the discredited “separate but equal” doctrine that was used for decades to justify racial discrimination, Obama reverted to the tactical argument: “if I were advising the civil rights movement back in 1961 about its approach to civil rights, I would have probably said it's less important that we focus on an anti- miscegenation law than we focus on a voting rights law and a non- discrimination and employment law and all the legal rights that are conferred by the state.” Wakati HRC rais Joe Solomonese alipendekeza kuwa msimamo wa Obama inasikika mashoga kama yalikataliwa mafundisho "tofauti lakini sawa" iliyotumiwa kwa ajili ya miongo kuhalalisha ubaguzi wa rangi, Obama Reverted hoja tactical: "kama ningekuwa kutoa ushauri kwa haki za kiraia harakati nyuma mwaka 1961 kuhusu njia yake ya haki za kiraia, mimi ingekuwa pengine alisema ni chini muhimu kwamba sisi kuzingatia sheria ya kupambana na miscegenation kuliko sisi kuzingatia sheria kupiga kura haki na sheria zisizo za ubaguzi na ajira na haki zote za kisheria kwamba ni maoni na serikali. "
He said civil union for gays and lesbians “wouldn't be a lesser thing (than marriage), from my perspective. Alisema muungano wenyewe kwa wenyewe kwa ajili ya mashoga "bila kuwa na kitu kidogo (kuliko ndoa), kwa mtazamo wangu. And look, you know, semantics may be important to some. Na kuangalia, unajua, semantiki inaweza kuwa muhimu kwa baadhi. From my perspective, what I'm interested is making sure that those legal rights are available to people.” Kutokana na mtazamo wangu, mimi nina nia ni kuhakikisha kuwa wale haki za kisheria za kutosha kwa watu. "
Later in the 2008 campaign Obama returned to his recurring theme that gay and lesbian rights were sometimes used to distract voters from what they really ought to be voting on: economic issues. Baadaye katika kampeni ya 2008 Obama alirejea mandhari yake ya mara kwa mara kwamba haki za mashoga na wasagaji walikuwa wakati mwingine kutumiwa na kuvuruga wapiga kura kutokana na kile kwa kweli wanapaswa kupiga kura on: masuala ya kiuchumi.
“People don't vote on economic issues because they don't expect anybody is going to help them," Obama told a crowd in Terre Haute, Ind., in April 2008. "So people end up voting on issues like guns and are they going to have the right to bear arms. "Watu hawana kupiga kura juu ya masuala ya kiuchumi kwa sababu hawana kutarajia mtu yeyote ni kwenda kuwasaidia," Obama aliwaambia watu katika Terre Haute, Ind, mwezi Aprili 2008. "Hivyo watu kuishia kupiga kura juu ya masuala kama ya bunduki na ni wao kwenda kuwa na haki ya kubeba silaha. They vote on issues like gay marriage." Wao kupiga kura juu ya masuala kama ya ndoa za mashoga. "
But once he was elected president Obama disappointed his gay and lesbian allies by at first defending DOMA, a law which he had criticized. Lakini mara alichaguliwa kuwa rais Obama tamaa yake washirika mashoga na wasagaji na at DOMA kwanza kutetea, sheria ambayo alikuwa kukosoa. The Justice Department filed a motion to dismiss a legal challenge to DOMA in July of 2009. Idara ya Haki filed hoja ya kumfukuza changamoto ya kisheria ya DOMA mwezi Julai 2009. Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler said the department's standard practice was to defending existing law. Haki msemaji Tracy Schmaler alisema idara ya mazoezi ya kiwango ilikuwa kutetea sheria zilizopo.
"Until Congress passes legislation repealing the law, the administration will continue to defend the statute when it is challenged in the justice system," Schmaler said. "Hadi Congress hupita sheria ya kufuta sheria, utawala itaendelea kutetea amri wakati ni changamoto katika mfumo wa sheria," Schmaler alisema.
Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder changed their position in February 2011 when Holder announced the administration would not defend the constitutionality of Section 3 of DOMA as applied to same-sex married couples in the two cases filed in a federal appeals court Obama na Mwanasheria Mkuu wa Serikali Eric Holder iliyopita msimamo wao katika Februari 2011 wakati Holder alitangaza utawala bila kuilinda kikatiba wa Sehemu ya 3 ya DOMA kama kutumika kwa wanandoa ndoa za jinsia moja katika kesi mbili filed katika shirikisho rufaa mahakama
But as of last summer Obama was still disappointing his gay and lesbian supporters by repeating his view that marriage was an issue for each state to decide. Lakini kama majira ya mwisho Obama alikuwa bado kuwakatisha tamaa wafuasi wake mashoga na wasagaji kwa kurudia maoni yake kwamba ndoa ni suala kwa kila hali ya kuamua.
"Kila jamii ni kwenda kuwa tofauti na kila taifa litakuwa tofauti," alisema katika mkutano White House vyombo vya habari.
When NBC's Chuck Todd asked, “Are you at all uncomfortable that there could be different rules in different states, you know, and for somebody to make the argument that's what we saw during segregation?” Wakati wa NBC Chuck Todd aliuliza, "Je, wewe wakati wote na wasiwasi kuwa kunaweza kuwa na kanuni tofauti katika mataifa tofauti, unajua, na kwa ajili ya mtu kufanya hoja kwamba ni nini tuliona wakati wa ubaguzi?"
Obama replied “what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they've got to be treated like every other American. Obama alijibu "kile wewe unachokiona ni kutambua makubwa kwa sehemu ya watu wa Marekani kuwa na mashoga na wasagaji na transgender ni ndugu zetu, dada zetu, watoto wetu, na binamu zetu, rafiki zetu, ushirikiano wetu wafanyakazi, na kwamba watu nimepata kuwa na kutibiwa kama Marekani kila mmoja. And I think that principle will win out.” Na nadhani kanuni kwamba kushinda nje. "
He said that he as president “can't dictate precisely how this process moves. Alisema kuwa yeye kama rais "haiwezi kulazimisha just jinsi hatua hii ya mchakato. But I think we're moving in a direction of greater equality and I think that's a good thing.” Lakini nadhani sisi ni kuelekea kwenye mwelekeo wa usawa na nadhani hiyo ni jambo jema. "
