John Boehner, John McCain not changing position on marriage equality


Although Ohio Sen. Rob Portman made public his "evolution" on marriage equality last week, many of the GOP stalwarts are sticking to their guns on the issue.

House Speaker John Boehner, appearing yesterday on ABC's This Week: "Rob [Portman] is a great friend and a long-time ally. And I appreciate that he’s decided to change his views on this.I believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. It’s what I grew up with. It’s what I believe. It’s what my church teaches me. And I can’t imagine that position would ever change."

Sen. John McCain agrees: "I respect anyone else’s decision and we all learn in life and grow and mature. I have changed my position on other issues in my life, but on this one, I had not contemplated changing my position."
