This man deserves a lot of respect for the sincerity of his speech and the honesty over his his initial stance being wrong. Fair play to you Mr Sanders, that took guts.

I as a Republican looked at the constitution when i made my final conviction. on legal issues that pertain to marriage should be extended to those consenting adults. I think the constitution doesn't give us this option to point blank do this small segment of the act of segregation.

You are missing the point. He's not crying because it's hard for him to support it. He's crying because he's filled with regret and embarrassment. He used to be against gay rights but his daughter's coming out changed his perspective.

This guy rocks. He as against gay marriage but then searched his soul and found hat was right. He now knows that all people should be treated equally regardless of race, religion and sexual orientation. We need to fight for equality and get rid of intolerance.

@mase5701 - yeah I'm sure there is some truth to that but I can't help wondering if he would still have done the right thing if his daughter was not gay .

He is tearful because he realized he spent much of his career supporting ideas that were hurting his own blood, his own daughter, Not because he's in a moral dilemma or anything like that.
