Support for Same-Sex Marriage Could Be Official Democratic Stance
NPR’s Ari Shapiro reports that the Democratic Party is “on the path to including an endorsement of same-sex marriage” as an official plank of the party’s platform. The Democrats’ move comes in the wake of President Obama’s public endorsement of gay marriage, and the wedding of Rep. Barney Frank, the first openly gay member of Congress, who recently married his longtime partner in Massachusetts.
