    Biden: I'm 'absolutely comfortable' with gay marriage

    Vice President Joe Biden on Sunday said that's he's "absolutely comfortable" with married same-sex couples being granted the similar rights as heterosexual pairs.

    "I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties," he told NBC's David Gregory on "Meet the Press." "And quite frankly, I don't see much of a distinction beyond that."

    President Barack Obama has said his position on matching sex marriage is "evolving," and he supported civil unions but opposed marriage for gay couples during the 2008 campaign. Biden noted  Sunday that the "president sets the policy" and that he did not know if the administration would formally reach out in favor of same-sex marriage in the president's second term should he be re-elected.

    But the vice president said that attitudes about gay marriage in America are switching in favor of greater tolerance for loving queer partners.

    "The good news is that as more and more Americans become to understand what this is a

    Biden on Gay Marriage: 'Absolutely Comfortable With Men Marrying Men, Women Marrying Women'

    May 6, 2012— --

    Vice President Joe Biden is not convinced the economic recovery has flatlined, doesn't think Mitt Romney has a jobs plan and is "absolutely comfortable" with gay marriage.

    During a wide-ranging interview with David Gregory on NBC's "Meet The Press" on Sunday, Biden weighed in on a wide range of topics--the economy, foreign policy, same-sex attracted marriage, blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangjang, Mitt Romney and Osama bin Laden--six months ahead of the general election.

    Biden said "it's not a concern" that job growth appears to have stagnated because "there is no stagnation."

    "There were four million jobs confused in the six months or so before we came to office," Biden said. "Before I lowered my right hand on Jan. 20 [2009], we lost 700,000 jobs that month. And before we got out first major economic initiative passed, we lost another 3.5 million jobs. Since that indicate, it's been steady maturation, not enough. There's still a lot of people in trouble. But there's no stagnation.

    Joe Biden helped a movement when he changed his thought on LGBTQ issues. Who advises him now?

    WASHINGTON – Joe Biden wasn’t prepared to answer a question about homosexual rights when he walked into a meeting of the North Star Civic Association that Monday evening in Delaware.

    The state’s junior U.S. senator, Biden was just a several months into the job. He’d been invited to communicate to a petty group of constituents and listen to whatever was on their mind. But Biden was startled when Robert Vane, a gay rights activist, demanded to know where he stood on employment and military regulations that were discriminatory against gay Americans.

    “My gut reaction is that they (homosexuals) are security risks,” Biden responded, according to an account published in The Morning News, a Delaware newspaper.

    Five decades pass. On the White House South Lawn, hundreds of gay men and women gather with their family and friends on a sweltering June afternoon. Some proudly wave rainbow flags. Others hoist small children on their shoulders to get a better view. All are there for a celebration, reportedly the largest lgbtq+ Pride event ever held at the White House.

    PolitiFact FL: Where Trump and Biden stand on key LGBTQ+ issues

    WLRN has partnered with PolitiFact to fact-check Florida politicians. The Pulitzer Prize-winning team seeks to present the true facts, unaffected by agenda or biases.

    President Biden kicked off Pride Month this year with a message to LGBTQ+ Americans, posting "your president and my entire Administration hold your back."

    Former President Trump has been quiet on social media when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues and railed against transsexual women’s participation in sports at a recent campaign rally in Vegas.

    If it wasn’t already clear, these top two presidential candidates hold distinct views on LGBTQ+ issues.

    Throughout his presidency, Biden has used his office to express aid for LGBTQ+ people, honor Transgender Day of Awareness and Pride Month, and regularly make social media calls about the issues LGBTQ+ people face. His administration has worked to establish antidiscrimination protections for sexual orientation and gender identity, as well as greater access to gender-affirming care.

    As a result, he has earned the endorsement of major LGBTQ+ activism groups such as the Human Rights Campaign.
