Rand Paul Waffles On Gay Marriage
Via CNN:
“Society’s changing,” he said. “I mean, people change their minds all the time on this issue, and even within the Republican Party, there are people whose child turns out to be gay and they’re like, oh well maybe I want to rethink this issue. So it’s been rethought. The President’s rethought the issue. So I mean, a lot of people have rethought the issue.” It sounded, for a moment, as if Paul was hinting that he, too, could change his thinking about marriage. “The bottom line is, I’m old fashioned, I’m a traditionalist,” he said. “I believe in old-fashioned traditional marriage. But, I don’t really think the government needs to be too involved with this, and I think that the Republican Party can have people on both sides of the issue.” “You could rethink it at some point, too?” I asked him. He shrugged, and gave me a half-grimace.
