Finally...
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) announced his support for gay marriage Thursday, becoming the 51st senator to do so.
"If we are endowed by our Creator with rights, then why shouldn't those be attainable by gays and lesbians?" Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times. "Simply put, if The Lord made homosexuals as well as heterosexuals, why should I discriminate against their civil marriage? I shouldn't, and I won't."
Nelson's support came after numerous Democratic senators backed gay marriage in advance of Supreme Court cases on the Defense of Marriage Act and California's gay marriage ban, Proposition 8. Two Democratic senators, Bob Casey (Pa.) and Tom Carper (Del.), declared their support earlier this week. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) became the second Republican senator to back gay marriage, following Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio.

What a skum bag politician and I told him so. You know he doesn't believe it. It's just fuckin political posturing. If you believe what you believe fuckin be a man and stand by it right or wrong and let the electorate decide. But no, it's all about keeping your cush job. Piece of political shit.
