(CNN) – Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, indicated her support Wednesday for same-sex-marriage, becoming the fourth sitting Republican senator to do so.

“A number of states, including my home state of Maine, have now legalized same-sex marriage, and I agree with that decision,” Collins said according to the Bangor Daily News in response to one of its reporter's questions.

She joins Republican Sens. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rob Portman of Ohio in expressing support for the marriage equality movement.

I assumed she’d already done so years ago.

I don’t have a problem with gay couples having certain legal rights. But when they demand their relationship be defined as “marriage” it defiles humanity, biology, and what used to be considered common sense.

They can ride their own freaking train to hell.
Gay freakin’ marriage-— they sell their souls over this perversion? One more corrupt Unipartyian. I guess the RINO term has become a perversion too—think about that.

Anyone ask Thad what he thinks about homosexual marriage? Too bad that wasn’t asked before the runoff.

I though she went all out for gay marriage a longtime ago.

I’m actually surprised she’s just now doing this. Collins (and the retired Snowe) were always lefties on most of the social issues.

As for the others...Murky will endorse anyone and anything, so long as she gets campaign cash out of it. Dunno much about Kirk or Portman.

RINO as obsolete. Now its RIDO= Republican in Democrat Operation. or perhaps RIDM Republican in Democrat Mission. because the 'Republican name' has now devolved into a lower slime formation.

This should raise the hackles of all genuine small-l libertarians. It is the imposition of nonsense upon the citizenry... thou shalt call these buggery affairs marriages... NYET. It goes WAAAAY beyond social permissiveness.

She’s got an annoying voice plus its tonal cadence is like she’s speaking to kindergartner’s all the time. She’s a moron anyway but not like we didn’t already know it.

It may be time to completely divorce state sanctioned civil contract unions from the act of a holy joining of a man and woman in a contract between themselves and sworn before God.

Call the civil union “marriage” and let the government define it and perform it. Call the religious union “holy matrimony” and let it be performed before God in the church according to God’s laws.

>> Dunno much about Kirk or Portman. <<

Kirk claims to be "moderate" but votes to the LEFT of many card-carrying Chicago Democrats and even gloated how he got a more liberal rating than Obama from the Sierra Club. Sadly some freepers actually defend this marxist puke and claim he's the "best we can get" in a so-called "blue" state.

Portman is a useless squish who "evolved" on homosexual marriage when his son came out as homosexual.
