NASHUA, N.H. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has attended a wedding reception for a gay couple, he said Sunday, though the potential 2016 contender still believes marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Thats certainly a personal issue. For a family member, Tonette and I and our family have already had a family member whos had a reception. I havent been at a wedding, Walker said when msnbc asked whether he would be willing to attend a gay wedding. Thats true even though my position on marriage is still that its defined between a man and a woman, and I support the constitution of the state. But for someone I love, weve been at a reception.
The Wisconsin state constitution had banned gay marriage until a federal judge ruled the ban unconstitutional in 2014. Wisconsin newspapers reported that Walker attended a reception for his wifes cousin, Shelli Marquardt, shortly thereafter. After a brief period, an appeal halted gay marriages in Wisconsin but they resumed late last year when the Supreme Court rejected the appeal.
Walker isnt the only potential GOP candidate willing to attend such events. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who announced his presidential bid last week, told the cable network Fusion that he would participate.
If theres somebody that I love thats in my life, I dont necessarily have to agree with their decisions or the decisions theyve made to continue to love them and participate in important events, Rubio said....

You would have told the Jews to support a “less evil” NAZI in 1930s Germany.
Go pound sand liberal-scum!
I can promise you, if you vote, you’re going to vote for the ‘less evil’ candidate yourself.
What does that make you?
I’ve posted over and over and over that I will never vote for Jeb or Christy! Do you suffer from “progressive” loss of vision?
I prefer Cruz or Allen West. I’ll settle for Scot Walker.
TAKE YOUR ACCUSATIONS OF WANTING A PERFECT CANDIDATE AND SHOVE THEM ALONG WITH YOUR “LESSER OF TWO!” WE’RE TIRED OF YOUR RINO LOVIN’ LIBERAL LICKIN’ BS!
I showed you where you said that. I didn't say it, you did.
I've long argued here on FR that there is no perfect candidate.
Show me where I said I wanted a “perfect” candidate. What post number libby? I keep saying I don’t want a Hillary Clinton with an “R” next to her name. That’s exactly what Jeb and Christy represent. You keep cheering for it!
Weren’t you among the trolls shilling “progressive” values with the former Freeper “logicdesign” on the electric car threads? He rode the lightening. When is your turn?
You’re just another liberal troll.
I’ve covered that ground already, you were just so spitting mad you missed it.
Go hang with your libby-RINO buddies troll. I’m not “spitting angry.” I’m just disgusted by the liberal wing of the GOP.
Say “Hi” to “LogicDesigner.”
In light of the recent Cruz news, who is left on your list?
What news might that be?
Yes, I know all about that. Sorry to disappoint you if you were expecting to shock. :)
How does it equate to attending a queer wedding and celebrating unnatural “vows”?
Cruz’s stance on that is rock-solid. He’s one of the few who hasn’t attended a queer “wedding” or fallen all over himself to breathlessly declare that he would do so.
