His belief in traditional marriage could never have been on solid ground if he changed just because his son came out. He tries to use the Bible to justify this, and the Bible makes it's teachings on same sex relationships clear. If he was following the Bible, he would love his son, but he wouldn't support his lifestyle and wouldn't want to redefine marriage. This does not go over with me as I voted for him believing he was conservative on social issues.

In this day and age the Prodigal Son returns not in repentance but in sin.

This is why he decided not to throw his hat in the primary ring last year.

This deal of “coming out” that has become so popular with these kids in the past few years is, I think, suspect. In this area, at one of the high schools, the kids suddenly started “coming out” in droves, embracing and kissing in the hallways, having “sex” in the bathroom stalls (how romantic!) I expect some kids are in the future going to be embarrassed at their recent behavior; because even logical statistical numbers would have precluded there being that huge a number of “gay” kids in any one given place at one time. A fad.

It’s always the ones with homosexuals in the family that support counterfeit marriage.

So true regarding his reversal. This shows that his previous thinking was a mere political "position" rather than a "principle". Pope Francis has spoken about how the Church and the Bible view this entire manufactured by liberals 'same sex marriage' issue ...

"Let's not be naive, we're not talking about a simple political battle; it is a destructive pretension against the plan of God," wrote Cardinal Bergoglio in a letter sent to the monasteries of Buenos Aires. "We are not talking about a mere bill, but rather a machination of the Father of Lies that seeks to confuse and deceive the children of God."

Even Bart Stupak didn’t change his conservative (for a democrat) position on guns when his son killed himself.

He, as nearly ALL politicians today, have no Principe....they move to assure their re-Election only, and do NOT represent any values other than their own interests.

Holding Office has become only a place to sit while buying votes to KEEP that Office.

Portman should change affiliation to the anti-God Party (aka DemocRAT). He is a lying certified disciple of Saran!

He can’t be very solid on much of anything if he can’t reason his way through things like this with greater clarity than he has exhibited.

This inability to think things through is characteristic of the majority of the population today. They will blindly follow the Demagogue into totalitarianism.

The reason people are sick of the GOP is because they have no moral compass.

They have no convictions. They are not trustworthy.

Had he not thought of the parents of gay children, before he made a stand?

In what , was his opinion of gay marriage based, in the first place?

More “good for me, but not for thee”.

What is Portman’s voting record? His conservative grade?

He may be expressing his personal conversion, but won’t do harm on the senate floor.

/not defending this guy

You still did the right thing in voting for Portman over the Democrat in the general but you hit the nail on the head about how Portman is wrong in changing his mind about gay “marriage”. Real marriage was defined by God and there is nothing we can do to change it. All the rest is just pretending.

this is the result of recruiting.

Portman should resign if he finds this personal situation compromises his principles so easily.

He should have kicked his son out.

'The overriding message of love and compassion that I take from the Bible, and certainly the Golden Rule, and the fact that I believe we are all created by our maker, that has all influenced me in terms of my change on this issue.'

If you jump off an eighty foot cliff, the rocks aren't going care what you believe about gravity.

He should listen to gay people who finally discover they are AGAINST gay marriage.
