Like sands through the hourglass, so are the irrelevant issues of Campaign 2012. Yesterday, ABC News interrupted the longest-running American soap opera currently in production (General Hospital), to bring us the latest episode in another made-for-TV drama: President Obama’s constantly evolving relationship with the gay community. Does Obama love his gay supporters as much as they love him? Will he finally acknowledge their feelings? How far will he go to support them? Tune in to ABC at 3 PM EST to find out!!!

And so it came to pass that at approximately 3:02 PM EST on May 9, 2012, a pre-taped interview was aired in which Obama told ABC News’ Robin Roberts that, “I’ve just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”
