Throughout his career, Sen. John McCain has been a staunch opponent of same-sex marriage. He opposed it during his 2008 presidential campaign and was vocal in his support for California's Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the state. His family, however, is increasingly on the other side of this hot-button issue.

McCain's daughter Meghan distanced herself from her father's stance last summer when she posed for an ad for NOH8, a gay rights campaign seeking to defeat Prop 8. Now his wife Cindy is joining in the effort and is also appearing in an ad for NOH8.

Agreed. Considering who she is married to, maybe she's rethinking the whole thing from several different angles

I know I would be

Hey beautiful

Yeah, it makes me wonder, is it just that women are more prone to be supportive than men, or is it just that the men holding the political posistions feel unable to voice support, until the public makes doing so "safe".

In my experience,

Mothers are more likely to accept a GLBTQI offspring than fathers and be supportive of their life choices.

Your mileage may vary.

It's a bit of a shame she's coming out with this after California voted against gay marriage. I guess she didn't want to put anyone's ass on the line when it counted.

No, no, she would have been incensed if she had had guts, not damned. It's cute that she's saying this now, but obviously, completely irrelevant.
