WASHINGTON (RNS) Republican U.S. Sen. Rob Portman on Thursday (March 14) announced he has reversed his longtime opposition to same-sex marriage after reconsidering the issue because his 21-year-old son, Will, is gay.
Portman said his son, a junior at Yale University, told his wife, Jane, and him that he's gay and "it was not a choice, it was who he is and that he had been that way since he could remember."
