Bill Clinton Announces Support for Gay Marriage

The Nation reports:

Former President Bill Clinton has come out in support of same-sex marriage.

After speaking at the Campus Progress National Conference in Washington, DC, on July 8, the former president was asked if he supported same-sex marriage. Clinton, in a departure from past statements, replied in the affirmative.

[...]

Asked if he personally supported same-sex marriage, Clinton replied, "Yeah." "I personally support people doing what they want to do," Clinton said. "I think it's wrong for someone to stop someone else from doing that [same-sex marriage]."

I'm very happy to see this, as it's fundamentally unAmerican (and unconstitutional, and immoral) to discriminate against one group of law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens. That's exactly what the status quo does, and it's time for that to end. Now.

P.S. Needless to say, kudos to Bill Clinton for this; this is the type of thing that makes me proud to be a Democrat!
