So, Senator Rob Portman has come out and said that he now supports Gay Marriage, after being strongly opposed to it for Religious reasons all these years. So, what changed? Well, his son has just told him and the world that he's Gay.
So, while there is nothing wrong with being gay, there is something wrong with a person that sells out their convictions in a matter of self over something. In this case, Portman is selling out his religious beliefs over family - showing that either he never really believed in the religious teachings, or that he's willing to sell down his strongest and deepest beliefs for something that contradicts those convictions and beliefs when it's "Convenient".
What Portman should have done was said, while I still don't support gay "Marriage", I have decided to work towards a tolerant and understanding solution by removing the word "Marriage" from all legal writings and regulations and replacing it with the word "Union" - this will allow both gays and non-gays to have the same rights and benefits under our legal/regulatory system and will not impose any changes to any religious beliefs held by any persons.
Instead, Rob Portman sold out, sold his beliefs, sold his honor, and dishonored the religion he claimed to follow.
For those of you that are idiots and unable to comprehend basic things - my position is not anti-gay, in fact this position shows far more tolerance and acceptance that the gays show on this issue.
