House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) — who is spending millions of taxpayer dollars opposing marriage equality — told ABC’s This Week that he could never see himself supporting same-sex unions, despite the growing evolution towards marriage for all within the Republican Party.
Responding to Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) change of heart on the issue, Boehner said that he “appreciates” his friend’s new position, but insisted that “I believe that marriage is a union of a man and a woman” and predicted that he would not change his mind even if he found out that his own son is gay:
MARTHA RADDATZ (HOST): Can you imagine yourself in a situation where you reversed your decision as Portman has on gay marriage if a child of yours or someone you love told you they were gay.
BOEHNER: Listen, I believe marriage is a union between one man and one woman. It’s what I grew up with, it’s what i belive, it’s what my church teaches me and I can’t imagine that position would ever change.

Did you see his face when he was asked the question? He could couldn't decide how to answer at first. He is such a putz with no balls at all. This is just one more of many positions that the GOP continue to cram down the throat of American Citizens.
I swear I've always considered myself a peace loving person, but lately these jerks raise my hackles to the point that I wish evil to befall on every single one of these 'holier than thou, sanctimonious, self-righteous' creeps.

He's such a piece of $hit. Nothing more to be said, he and his sad sick "party" or corporate-FASCISTS.
