Something else to make John Boehner cry ...
Do you need more
proof that the Republican Party is on the wrong side of history when it comes to marriage equality? Well, here's
the latest from Ohio:
Ohioans’ sentiments have shifted dramatically since voters overwhelmingly supported the 2004 ban on same-sex marriage.
The constitutional amendment defining marriage as solely between a man and a woman passed with 62 percent support.
But now, just days before the U.S. Supreme Court considers a pair of landmark gay-marriage cases, a new Saperstein Poll for The Dispatch shows that 54 percent back a proposed new amendment to repeal the 2004 measure and “allow two consenting adults to marry, regardless of their gender.”
Meanwhile, Ohio's
least-favorite son, Speaker of the House John Boehner, who happens to be the most powerful Ohioan in Washington,
says:
But I believe that marriage is a union of a man and a woman ... I can't imagine that position would ever change.
Way to keep your finger on the pulse of Ohioans, John. But why should he be any different than the rest of the backwards, bigoted leadership and base of today's Republican Party?
