Cindy McCain "comes out" for marriage equality!

Cindy McCain, wife of John McCain contacted the folks at the NOH8 campaign and requested a photo shoot to show her opposition to Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in California. The would-be first lady most likely heard about this from her daughter, Mehgan McCain, who is an avid gay rights activist...and yes....a Republican. You can be a Republican and not hate gay people. I know lots of them. Well, a few.

Anyway, what an awesome statement from the spouse of the leader of the Republican party!! Her husband does not share her opinion on gay marriage; at least not publicly. Either way, I think it says a lot about all of the McCains. Including Senator McCain. His wife has her own opinion and is free to speak it. He commented on Imus this morning that their conversations at home about the subject are "spirited". I bet. Although I'm not entirely convinced that personally, he's as against marriage equality as he says but I'll take his word for it.

Thank you, Cindy McCain for taking such a courageous stand on marriage equality!
