Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio says he does not believe sexual orientation is a choice for the "enormous majority of people."
The Florida senator's comments came Sunday on CBS's Face the Nation, where he said that it should be up to states rather than the Supreme Court to define marriage and that he considers marriage to be between a man and a woman.
"I also don't believe that your sexual preferences are a choice for the vast and enormous majority of people. In fact, the bottom line is, I believe that sexual preference is something people are born with," Rubio said.
He and other Republican presidential hopefuls have faced questions in recent days about their positions on same-sex marriage as the nation's top court prepares for what is expected to be a broad ruling on the constitutionality of the issue in June.
Americans support the right of same-sex couples to wed, 55 percent to 42 percent, according to a Gallup poll in May 2014, reflecting sweeping movement in public opinion over nearly two decades. Republican support has also grown, but stands at just 30 percent, according to the poll.
In an interview with Fusion published Wednesday, Rubio said he would attend a same-sex wedding.
“If it’s somebody in my life that I care for, of course I would,” he said. “I’m not going to hurt them simply because I disagree with a choice they’ve made or because I disagree with a decision they’ve made, or whatever it may be."
Texas Senator Ted Cruz said he has never had to make such a decision, dodging the question. Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who has not announced a campaign yet, said he would not attend such a wedding.
Ohio Governor John Kasich, another possible candidate, said he and his wife had been invited to a same-sex wedding and plan to attend, CNN reported Saturday.

The liberal media can destroy a lot of Republican candidates by outing their progressive ideas about sodomite marriage and how it’s all God’s fault for making them born that way.
The media is covering up that lesbians and males gays have two different opinions on this, something that the media would mention in the 1990s.
Lesbians say choice, gay males argue born.
Being sexual is a choice
We are not animals.
Orientation is either normal or abnormal... There is no gene, for how would it be passed on...
No one should have. To condone sexual behavior of any kind
T
Whatever that means.
so you are not in need of a Savior?
Until we get the federal government out of our schools with their liberal indoctrinization, I don’t see any alternative but home schooling.
I totally agree.
What’s going on today is child abuse. When the schools are reorganized, I want today’s management out selling dog food.
Definitely not. I have a brain.
OK then I see where you are coming from. You are in that category that doesn’t think they need one. Everyone gets what they want. Good luck!
Thank you. The homosexual guy who used to do my hair once told me it's every gay guy's dream to "turn" a straight man.
Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
+1.
Exactly!
There is no variance, no Gray area at all, where Homosexuality/Sodomy is concerned with respect to the Bible’s and God’s prohibition against it, the evil nature of this disease, and the punishment.
How anyone proclaiming the name of Christ can soft-pedal this issue is beyond me and is most likely the sign that they don’t know Jesus and have not been born again, I.E., they are not Christians, but wannabes.
It's congenital?
Marco is done.
Likewise.
How would he explain bi-sexuality?
Huh? What absolute sh!t.
There is no reliable proof that this is so.
Yawn....choice....born that way....COMPLETELY irrelevant.
