Kudos to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) for switching his views on gay marriage and embracing freedom.
Portman said he changed his mind and now supports marriage equality for all after learning one of his sons is gay.
“Who’d a thunk that gay people were, you know, actually people and that they’d want all the same freedoms other people have. Holy shit!” the Ohio Senator didn’t really say. “I have no choice but to switch my views now that it affects a person I know IRL.”
Portman’s reversal makes him the sole Republican in the Senate that supports freedom and equality for all, not just rich Christian white people who are straight.
Despite promising to maintain a lack of empathy for other groups of people he doesn’t know, Portman says he’s prepared to be ostracized by the dying political party he has served his whole life.
