It is interesting to see worldviews play themselves out. Our prevailing contemporary worldview is Moral Relativism. It is rooted in Humanism. Humanism is a faith, or religion, which exalts man over God. Humanism says, "Man is the measure of what is right or wrong, good or bad." In other words, each person gets to decide for themselves what is good for themselves.
Most "Christians" today have prayed a prayer that says something like this. "Dear Jesus, please forgive me for my sins. Please come into my heart and save me..." Ok, that is the short version. But then they continue to live lives of humanism. We may as well say they are atheistic Christians. Just ask a Christian why they believe what they do. Your response is likely to be as humanistic as any pagan. They might say something like, "Well... its my opinion," or "For me, it would be wrong, but I don't know about for them..." or "This passage means TO ME that..."
The point is biblically speaking, a Christian's worldview should START with God. Who cares about our personal opinions? Christians don't want to decide what is right / wrong, they want to please Jesus Christ.
How does this relate to Obama's celebration of Gay-Pride? Being gay is a choice, the Bible says so (Read Romans 1). As Christians, why are my friends defending homosexuality as if it were a gender-type. God didn't make people that way. It is a perversion of God's design. Biblically speaking, it is a sinful lifestyle, just as adultry, murder, child-porn, etc.
