Former Vice President Al Gore has come out in favor of same-sex marriage. "I don’t understand why it is considered by some people to be a threat to heterosexual marriage to allow it by gays and lesbians," Gore said. "Shouldn’t we be promoting the kind of faithfulness and loyalty to one’s partner regardless of sexual orientation?"
"[T]he loyalty and love that two people feel for one another when they fall in love ought to be celebrated and encouraged and shouldn’t be prevented by any form of discrimination in the law," Gore said in the video posting.
In 2000 when he ran for president Gore said he supported civil unions or contracts but not marriage.
