President Obama hit the fundraising trail Thursday, one day after announcing his support for same-sex marriage. Speaking at a campaign event in Seattle, Obama placed his public shift on same-sex marriage within his re-election theme of moving the country “forward.”

President Obama: “We are moving forward to a country where every American is treated with dignity and with respect. And here in Washington, you’ll have the chance to make your voice heard on the issue of making sure that everybody, regardless of sexual orientation, is treated fairly. You will have a chance to weigh in on this. We are a nation that treats people fairly.”

Obama ended his day with a $15 million fundraiser at the Hollywood home of the actor and director George Clooney. Outside the event, protesters urged Obama to take action on foreclosures.

Melvina Bogan: “Tell the President to keep up the good work, but, you know, to be very assertive when he’s talking to the bankers, because they can be very deceiving.”

Beverly Roberts: “I wish he would do more about the homeowner situation, because it’s—I’m not the only one. I mean, it’s hundreds and thousands and more that are in trouble, and some worse than me. I’m not in foreclosure, but I’m headed that way.”
