Arizona Congressman Wants You To Know His Position On Same-Sex Marriage Hasn’t Changed Just Because He’s Got A Gay Son
The Washington Post reports that Matt Salmon, who voted for DOMA and even a ban on gay couples adopting in Washington D.C.,  told his local news outlet that he is retaining his anti-gay marriage views come gay son or high water. Nevertheless, the father maintains that he has nothing but respect for his son:
“My son is by far one of the most important people in my life. I love him more than I can say,†an emotional Salmon told 3TV. “It doesn’t mean that I don’t have respect, it doesn’t mean that I don’t sympathize with some of the issues. It just means I haven’t evolved to that stage.â€
“Evolve” is an very curious word choice here, as one might even think that Salmon was working towards getting “to that stage.” But then again, doubling down on TV with a gay son lead-in suggests otherwise.
