Al Gore Voices Support For Gay Marriage
by 365Gay.com Newscenter Staff

Posted: January 23, 2008 - 5:00 pm ET

(New York City) Former Vice President Al Gore has come out in favor of same-sex marriage.

"I don’t understand why it is considered by some people to be a threat to heterosexual marriage to allow it by gays and lesbians," Gore said in a posting on his person blog in the Current.com website.

"Shouldn’t we be promoting the kind of faithfulness and loyalty to one’s partner regardless of sexual orientation?"

Current is the news network founded by Gore.

"[T]he loyalty and love that two people feel for one another when they fall in love ought to be celebrated and encouraged and shouldn’t be prevented by any form of discrimination in the law," Gore said in the video posting.
This is unexpected news, but good news. I don't think that it will make any difference, but it is good to have him supporting.

In this day where we have people who want to amend the constitution to fit their religious views, it's good to have anyone supporting...

I'm thinking he's pretty darn smart--and setting himself up for another presidential run in 8 years.

One can hope...
