During a Broadway fundraiser in New York City on Thursday, President Obama was heckled by LGBT advocates demanding that gay marriage be legalized. Obama stuck to his guns when he addressed a group of about 600 LGBT supporters, saying his position on gay marriage is "evolving." As for the pending New York law that would legalize gay marriage, Obama lauded the state for democratic deliberation but did not endorse the law.
