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.
portman used religion to hide from logic and reason.
as long as portman bs’d with mere religion, he never had to address the logic and reason homosexual conduct is just plain wrong. He never address how real science does NOT support the born myth.
only the courts believe they can rule on the laws of science.
