Portman Statement on Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage “The issue of marriage equality is one that divides people of principle, and I understand that. In 2013, I decided to support marriage equality after I came to understand this issue better in the context of my own family. I can't help but view today's Supreme Court decision through that same lens. And as a father, I welcome today's decision. As I have said before, I would have preferred for this issue to be resolved by the democratic process in the states because I think you build a more lasting consensus that way. Now that the Court has reached its decision, I hope we can move past the division and polarization the issue has caused.”

Unbelievable isn’t it? The whole thing, a one paragraph, weak, insulting capitulation.

In the words of Slick Willie: “you better put some ice on that”

Who cares about 10th Amendment federalism, the rule of law, and millennia of Judeo-Christian civilization when Portman’s degenerate son is happy?

So, Senator Portman finds out his son is gay and sells Ohioans down the river. And now he throws in a Rodney King imitation 'Can't we all just get along?'

Yep - akin to finding out one's child is a rapist/murderer and deciding that rape and murder may not be so bad after all and should be considered for legalization.
