How Bernie Sanders Evolved on Gay Marriage (Hillary Group)

Just saw this article that examines Sander's view on gay marriage and suggests that it is more complicated than he is trying to make it seem.

"He's long opposed anti-gay laws, but he was not an advocate for gay marriage until recently"

Feel free to share it in any other forums. I am only sharing it here because I don't have the time to really follow up on it now but just wanted our group to see it.

He was born fully formed and complete in his ideology. He has always thought the same things and believed the same thing. He will be constant and never change even if he causes the economy to go belly up or the world get blown to smithereens!
