A Senator who takes this personal decision and then wants to impose that decision on the people who he supposedly represents is worse than a RINO. He was elected based on his prior positions and should immediately resign and stand for re-election based on his new positions and beliefs.

If there is anyone here who doesn't believe that the central socialist government and this homosexual agenda is 100% wrong-headed then that person belongs on another website.

“I have come to believe that if two people are prepared to make a lifetime commitment to love and care for each other in good times and in bad, the government shouldn't deny them the opportunity to get married,”

Why limit it to "two people" Rob - why not three or four? How can you object to polygamy if a group is "prepared to make a lifetime committment to love and care for each other"? And why just adults? Why not include children if they are prepared to make such a commitment? And if same sex marriage is allowed they who shouldn't gay siblings be allowed? IF we are getting rid of any standards they everything is fair game on terms you just established.

Why we allow our government to have any say about marriage, how to tax it, who can do it is beyond my understanding.

It is a religious institution and should not even be a political arguement

Republican Senator Rob Portman has announced his support for same-sex marriage, saying he reversed his position on the divisive social issue after his son came out as gay.

So because his son's a faggot we're all supposed to abandon our culture and God's law and accept this abomination? Rob Portman is an arrogant, selfish pr*ck.

A total disgrace! I met him during the November election (I drove in from Illinois to help Romney) and at the time I thought he was one of the good guys.

I am getting to the point where I may never trust a politician again.

“saying he reversed his position on the divisive social issue after his son came out as gay”

In other words, he’s spineless and has no principles. Well, we already know he’s a politician, so I guess that goes without saying.

Sicko. His kid is so screwed up, he wants to screw up the entire country so his kid will appear "normal."

Why doesn't he just institutionalize his kid for the good of the country instead? Why should millions of Americans defile their country because his kid decided to go queer?

...to have a relationship like Jane and I have had for over 26 years.

Portman and his wife have a homosexual relationship?

Calling it a “marriage” doesn’t make it one. You could call it a ham sandwich, but that doesn’t make it lunch.”

Rob Portman has looked EVIL in the face and embraced it.

Gee Sen. Rob... If you son wasn’t an Arse Bandit, would you even give a Shiite about this subject?

The government isn’t denying anybody the “opportunity to get married”. The government is denying special federal benefits to people who claim to be married but are not in the class of people (opposite-sex couples) for which those special benefits are intended.

The government has special handouts that go only to blacks, and only to women. Why isn’t Portman upset that his son, being white, can’t qualify for special minority treatment from the government?

This makes as much sense as a parent coming out in favor of child rape if their child committed an act of child rape.

If he really loved his son, he would tell him he was sinning and that he would help him get counseling. He would not change his own moral stance; but it looks like he never had one.

What I said on an earlier thread:

The notion that we must endorse the sin of someone we love is a reversal of all morality.

Rob Portman, and indeed most of Western civilization, will continue to decline—rapidly—if the population doesn’t get this concept correct.

We can love our children, but not their behavior.

What if I were an alcoholic, or what if I were inclined to abuse someone who angers me? I was “born” that way, you know. I can’t help myself, it is just the way I am!

Well, Mr. Portman (and the rest of the West!), you are just going to have to accept me. More than that, you’re going to have to pass laws that ENDORSE my actions!

There is such a thing as “right” and “wrong”.

We are calling good “evil” and evil “good”, something the sages from Moses to Jesus to Paul to Aquinas to Calvin and Luther warned against. And we do this to our detriment.

I noticed French jokes still work great if you replace word “French” with the surrender monkey wing of the GOP:


Q: What’s the difference between a pro-gay marriage Republican and a bucket of cr@p?
A: The bucket

Q: What’s the difference between a pro-gay marriage Republican and a catfish?
A: One is an ugly, scum sucking bottom-feeder and the other is a fish.

Q: Why did the Post Office have to recall its series of stamps depicting famous pro-gay marriage Republicans?
A: People were confused about which side to spit on.

Q: What’s the new “Republicans for marriage equality” flag look like?
A: A white cross emblazoned on a white background!

Q: Why don’t they have fireworks at Euro Disney?
A: Because every time they shoot them off, the pro-gay marriage Republicans try to surrender.

Raise your right hand if you are pro-gay marriage... raise both hands if you are a pro-gay marriage Republican.

Pro-gay marriage Republicans arrived in Afghanistan last week, and not a minute too soon. The pro-gay marriage Republicans are acting as advisers to the Taliban, to teach them how to surrender properly.

I would call the pro-gay marriage Republican scumbags, but that, of course, would be a disservice to bags filled with scum.

Did you hear about the pro-gay marriage Republican who lost his license to practice medicine? He was caught having sex with some of his patients. It’s a shame, too - he was by far the best vet in town.

A: More sand.

Q: Why do pro-gay marriage Republican men have mustaches?
