Biden followed his predecessor, Dick Cheney, in supporting gay marriage. Cheney has a gay daughter, which is probably why he reversed himself on the matter. Either that, or he sees marriage as akin to torture.
When Obama “evolved” on the issue, the press cheered with glee, much as they cheer the TV show Glee. When Mitt Romney changes positions, he “flip-flops,” but the media’s Messiah, Obama, of course simply “evolves.” Conservative Republicans never believed in evolution anyway, so they are torn on this.
The GOP rigidity on same-sex marriage is troubling. If you support minimal government and individual responsibility, how can you insist on legislating such personal matters?
Gays are not just Democrats; many Republicans test positive for Appletinis. There are about seven gay Republicans in Congress, but we generally do not find out who they are until Gloria Allred calls a press conference with a male prostitute client and tells us.

… We would like to thank the collaborative law-enforcement efforts that have assisted in the investigative process to date,” read a statement issued by the family of slain security guard Michael Haines. “We have great respect for and faith in the judicial system that will take it from here.”
Sherwood; her partner, Detective J.R. Smith; and a task force of local and federal agents started searching for Konias on Feb. 28 when police found Haines, 31, of East McKeesport, shot in the head in the back of a Garda truck in the Strip District. Police said the two men made several cash pickups and deliveries that day, including a stop at the Rivers Casino on the North Shore.
Prosecutors say Konias told investigators he shot Haines outside a Home Depot in Ross when the victim tried to stop the heist.
The hunt for Konias ended on April 24 when a tip led authorities to a nondescript boarding house in a seedy part of Pompano Beach, Fla., where Konias was hiding while spending lavishly on prostitutes, strippers and drugs.

Ertel said the club was the only one in the country where prostitutes don’t work. But a dancer who identified herself by her stage name, Yajaira, told the AP earlier in the day that she would have sex with customers for money after her shift ended.

PITTSBURGH (AP) – The 13.1 miles Shetaye Bekele runs in Pittsburgh’s half-marathon on Sunday amount to a short leg of a long journey. But they will bring her closer to everything she wants and take her further from all she abhorred.
Without options or recourse, the slight, young woman from Ethiopia worked as a prostitute in her country’s capital, Addis Ababa, a victim of rape and the sex trafficking that thrives there. In May 2010, International Crisis Aid, a humanitarian organization, got her off the streets, into a safe house and headed toward a new life.
“I was really very excited,” Bekele, 19, said through a translator on Thursday. “The first thing I thought was, ‘I can run.’ And now I’m running.”
