Mixner: Obama's Silence Is Hurting Us

Citing witnesses at Perry vs. Schwarzenegger who are quoting President Obama's words about same-sex marriage, activist and former Clinton White House adviser David Mixner says it's about time that our fierce advocate speak up on our behalf.

But this is not the first time Obama's words have been used against us. They were used by the evil forces pushing Proposition 8.
