Reverend Jesse Jackson Says He Will Marry Same Sex Couples |
|
|
|
During the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., , Rev. Jesse Jackson told reporters that he supports marriage equality and that he would have "no problem" with performing a marriage ceremony for a same-sex couple, the conservative website Human Events reported.
"Beginning with the Voting Rights Act of 1965, to the inclusion of blacks, Hispanics, 18 year olds, and women, opportunities are now unlimited," Jackson said and added that he had "no problem with that relationship - (couples of the same gender marrying)."
Jackson’s support echoes that of President Barack Obama, who accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination on Thursday and said earlier this summer that he supports marriage equality. The DNC also proved to be a record presence for gay men and women as the majority of the political party embraced LGBT rights, the Associated Press reported.
