[Rob] Portman … became the only sitting Republican senator to support marriage equality, as well as the highest-profile conservative currently in government to do so.
[…]
Will Portman proved, once again, that the most powerful political act any gay person can take is coming out.
[…]
Portman wrote about learning that [his son] Will was gay:
He said he’d known for some time, and that his sexual orientation wasn’t something he chose; it was simply a part of who he was. Jane and I were proud of him for his honesty and courage. We were surprised to learn he was gay, but knew he was still the same person he’d always been. The only difference was that now we had a more complete picture of the son we love.
The New Yorker’s Richard Socarides on Republican Senator Rob Portman’s historic stance for marriage equality, driven by his son’s coming out.
This takes place less than two weeks before Senate’s hearing to overturn DOMA – and mere days after Bill Clinton’s eloquent case for overturning it.
