Obama raises $15 mln after gay marriage endorsement
President Barack Obama called his endorsement of same-sex marriage a "logical extension" of his vision for the country on Thursday during a glitzy campaign fundraiser at the home of movie star George Clooney that raised nearly $15 million.
Obama, a Democrat, said on Wednesday he believes gay and lesbian couples should be able to wed, a shift in position that excited his political base around the country and spurred donations to his campaign. (Reuters)
