Barack Obama sought to make his newfound enthusiasm for gay marriage a campaign issue as he appeared on The View to defend his much-talked-about announcement.
In an interview set to air tomorrow, the President told the hosts of the ABC daytime chat show that the controversial debate would be ‘a big contrast in the campaign’ against Republican Mitt Romney.
Mr Obama announced, ‘I think same-sex couples should be able to get married,’ during another ABC interview last Wednesday.
The historic declaration is intended to fire up liberal activists who consider gay marriage to be a hugely symbolic social issue.
