He was the first executive level politician to support same sex marriage. President Obama was obviously on the same page and I'm grateful to him too. Someone said, and I agree, there will never be a Democratic presidential candidate that doesn't support same sex marriage because of these two men. Are there any republican it get better videos? I would guess not. But im going to check now. Ok three did http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/blogpost/post/new-it-gets-better-video-features-three-republicans-with-record-opposing-gay-rights/2011/10/26/gIQAnHFzJM_blog.html still can you imagine Mitt Romney or Paul Ryan making one of these? I think not.
