It’s Fine for Obama to Remain Silent on Gay Marriage

Queerty points out that President Obama hasn't said anything about any of the recent gay marriage victories.
Why should he? He thinks it's best left up to the states, and the states are deciding. Robert Gibbs said that as plainly as he could at the White House: "I think the president believes this is an issue that's best addressed by the states." Obama continues to support civil unions.
Obama is focused on major issues like the economy, the environment and healthcare reform. Just because he hasn't addressed Don't Ask, Don't Tell or DOMA doesn't mean he hasn't done anything for the gay community. Gay people live in the environment and are part of the economy. Some don't even have health insurance!
Don't be dismayed, Mr. President, some of us understand that you have to prioritize. You've already started helping the gay community, even if some of us don't get it.
