In the media: Kraft talks same-sex marriage with Fox 11

The reaction to President Obama’s endorsement of same-sex marriage earlier this week continued Thursday (May 10), with individuals and the news media reflecting on the president’s historic remarks and what they’ll mean moving forward. Prof. Emeritus Michael Kraft, Public and Environmental Affairs, spoke to WLUK, Fox 11 news about how the issue may — or may not — affect the November election. “The president’s supporters are already likely to support that position,” Kraft said. “Had he not made that announcement, he might have lost some support among the left side of the Democratic party and particularly those in the gay and lesbian communities. On the other hand, he wasn’t going to gain support of evangelical Christians and social conservatives anyway.” Full story. Kraft also appeared on TV-5
