Dustin Lance Black does not think President Obama deserves a pass for his continued gay marriage ‘evolution’

Dustin Lance Black takes President Barack Obama to task for continuing to ‘evolve’ on the issue of gay marriage.

In a special political issue of The Hollywood Reporter he writes: ‘On paper, it’s often tough to discern how Obama’s views on marriage differ from, say, GOP superstar Gov. Chris Christie, who believes separate-but-equal civil unions are just fine. And that actually puts the president behind the national polls, Dick Cheney, Laura Bush, Cindy McCain and many Republicans in the New York, New Hampshire and Maryland legislatures who support marriage equality.’

‘Until the president publicly puts his wheels down on the side of full equality, he must be passionately engaged, confronted and protested for maintaining his prejudiced, hurtful public position,’ Black writes. ‘If his evolution continues to fall short, then those interested in equality in this country must abandon their support. Hope should never become delayed disappointment.’
