Christian leaders have started an online declaration made to uphold their beliefs on same-sex marriage. By signing the declaration people are going along with using civil disobedience to "defend their convictions." On September 28, 2009 the Manhattan Declaration went into effect and it defends the fact that marriage should be by a man and woman. Christians believe that their rights and beliefs are being infringed upon and are skeptical of Obama, as he is an abortion rights activist. Others look at this as a shame people don't dedicate more efforts to more pressing issues such as healthcare and homelessness. Recently states have voted and have not been in favor of allowing same sex marriage so who's to say what will happen in the future with such declarations being formed and implemented.
