    He should have supported it from the start, it's long over due, but better late than never. People who oppose it are condemning their own children who might be gay to a life of unhappiness by their action in opposing what people have a right to do, marry whoever they love and be happy.

    Just because he is "for it" doesn't mean he will do anything, you sheeples are acting like you won the lotto without buying a ticket.
