The Supreme Court would later overtturn state bans on marriage equality in 2015.

Lucas 31,087 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 And he was supporting it in 1986, that's confusing... Still, people's mind changed over the last decades so his opinion from 14 years ago can absolutely be different now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eighteen 5,430 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 i don't criticize bernie for this. just as i do not criticize obama. but it would be VERY hypocritical of the sanders supporters here who would put down obama for his stance on gay marriage not to be critical of this. but quite frankly i don't expect them to. i just want this primary to end already it's so annoying. edit: and to some of the people saying "people change over time" uh so when it's bernie it's okay to evolve but not for anybody else? god the hypocrisy is astounding.

Cookie Tookie 10,546 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I do believe people can change their opinions over time, but I also can’t stand it when people try to make it look like his record is squeeky clean from its inception. He’s said and supported questionable things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
