Sen. Rob Portman has renounced his opposition to gay marriage, telling reporters from Ohio newspapers yesterday that he changed his position after his son Will told him and his wife, Jane, that he is gay.

Portman, an Ohio Republican, made the stunning revelation just a week before the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments on a 1996 federal law asserting that gay marriage is not legal, a measure that Portman co-sponsored as a member of the U.S. House.

But like former President Bill Clinton, who signed the law, Portman now wants the high court to invalidate the law’s declaration that marriage is between a man and a woman. Instead, Portman said he would prefer that it be left to the states to decide the definition of marriage.

What a phoney POS. Portman should resign immediately for being a fraud. If he had a daughter that all of a sudden wanted to terminate a pregnancy, would he flip on that too?

He just shot his conservative credentials to hell.

And in the Liberal tradition of what's news for the LSM, Google puts the Portman story as its #1 feature story

and the Sen. Menendez Grand Jury investigation of his advocating for the business interests of a wealthy donor as second.

Interesting story..apparently Portman has been mulling over this announcement for some time.

Loving your son doesn't mean you celebrate his sinning along with him, as beneficial for him.
