Anti-gay leader calls Senator who now supports equal marriage ‘A very troubled man’

Ohio Republican Senator Rob Portman, who was among the original sponsors of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) yesterday announced that he had changed his anti-equal marriage stance, following the personal revelation of his own son’s coming out as gay.

Phil Burress of the Ohio group Citizens for Community Values, has already spoken out to say that he thought Portman was “a very troubled man”, and suggested that he was “distraught” over his son coming out.

He said: “I just have a feeling that his son was pushing him into this for political reasons,” Burress said, speaking to American Family News. “But Rob did tell me that he would not campaign for the same-sex marriage issue if it got on the ballot in Ohio. He would not be their spokesman or participate in their campaign.”
