After Obama's historic remarks supporting gay marriage unions he called a meeting with Christian pastors to explain his newly acclaimed support. To avoid negative political feedback in the upcoming election Obama voiced his opinion to several African American pastors. Although the large percentage of African Americans in the United States continue to support Obama it is the minority of black pastors to speak out against Obama. In this indecisive time in America the idea of gay marriage is coming under fire. Churches primarily have chosen one of two approaches, to remain silent on the issue of gay marriage, or to but President Obama under fire for his remarks.
