Ariz. congressman’s gay son does not change his opposition to gay marriage

U.S. Congressman Matt Salmon says he isn’t ready to change his opinion on same-sex marriage, despite the fact that he has an openly gay son.

The Arizona Republican, who has maintained a reputation as a staunch social conservative throughout his political career, tells KTVK-TV in Phoenix that he loves his gay son “more than I can say,” he doesn’t believe his son Matt Jr., deserves the freedom to marry.

“I’m just not there in believing in my heart,” said Salmon.
