Who's stopping him from marrying a woman?
Ah, there is another good man of principle... not.
You are correct, he can still love the son but not the action.
Very disappointing... I’ve always liked the guy. Thought he would have been a smart choice for VP. So, don’t feel like you’re the only one fooled.
You either believe in marriage, or you don’t. NOTHING my two sons could ever do or say or think they are changes my opinion about the institution defined by God.
This will hurt Republicans badly. As someone else said, Portman will now be invited on to EVERY lib TV show... and, they use to say we’re ALL hypocrits.

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" - Romans 6:1-2
Portman does his son no favors by condoning behavior that God expressly names as abomination.
He is lecturing us about the Bible??
He is a total disgrace as a Senator to use the Bible as evidence for promoting a degenerate lifestyle.
SODOMY!
It will never be normal; it will never be beautiful; it will never be loving! It is a perversion of the highest order, and I will never join the chorus in celebrating this sick practice. I'll leave that for Holly-weird and the Politically Correct among us.
“wasn’t a choice”?
he should ask who molested his son.
Love the sinner, hate the sin. That’s what it boils down to.
Portman, traitor to the nation.
If he wants to stab AMerica in the back, he should have switched parties to the Demmunists first.
they are not like heteros....their drives are different...although, I'm sure one could find life long partners, but they are the exception not the rule, IMO anyway...
just let them marry though...let them pay the marriage penalty....let them have the same responsibilities as real married people...like having to pay bills for each other, etc...
since "marriage" is not really "marriage" anymore, I predict that as a govt sanctioned institute, it will die a slow death....
it'll be up to the Churches to have marriages.......maybe it should have been that way from the start...
We’re not praying for our leaders as we should, which is why stuff like this happens.

So Portman’s message to us is that a universal human institution, known from the beginning of time as reckoned in human terms, now has to change because his little boy is queer!
R-i-i-i-i-ght ... you got it, Robbie.
"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization".It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion. Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science. Members of parliament, representatives of business circles.Most of these people were divided roughly into two groups: those who would tow the Soviet foreign policy, they would be promoted to positions of power through media and public manipulation; [and] those who refuse the Soviet influence in their own country would be character assassinated OR executed physically, come Revolution. "--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
Portman’s read on the Constitution depends on what his kid does. Better keep an eye on what Will’s up to, that will determine his vote!!
The Bible ‘converts’ never seem to be willing to explain how/why ‘man’ was created such as he is physically and that ‘woman’ was created as she is physically. Indeed such a difference is not a unique characteristic of/to life. My difficulty with such attitudes is that these want to make/place everyone in an identical moral and existent human framework.
*****A respected Republican senator...*****
When an article begins with a statement like this - you know what’s coming...........
“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.”
What penalty does the Bible prescribe for homosexuality and disobedient children? Aren’t you being a bit soft?
So this guy never cared enough to contemplate why God thinks homosexual behavior is wrong.
Either that or he is just a coward who is a afraid to have a heart-to-heart talk with his son.
Spot on. His original stance was a fake. Nobody who believed in marriage would change like that.
