President Barack Obama welcomed Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to the White House for the administration's first state dinner.

More than 300 guests arrived at the expansive tent Tuesday night on the White House South Lawn. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama greeted the Indian leaders at the North Portico in a ceremony steeped in red carpet protocol.

The formal dinner is expected to make a statement about the Obamas' sense of style.

Mrs. Obama is wearing a lightly colored, sleeveless dress with a shawl. The president is in a tuxedo with black bow tie.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
