Of course I am in favor of politicians declaring solidarity with the movement towards lawfully solidifying gay marriage. However, Senator Portman is doing the homosexual base no favors with his declaration of gay rights acceptance. It is only now, when his own son has courageously come forward and decided to live an authentic life, that Portman reversed his views. In other words, it seems to me, he (as well as his colleagues) are unable to connect with the average person on Main St. unless that average person has traits that vastly effect the trajectory of such political figures immediate family. In this case the law as it exists will not allow Senator Portman’s son to live a full and whole life. It is only because of this instance, he has found the need to shun blatant sexual discrimination.
