Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) announced his support for same-sex marriage, becoming the second sitting GOP senator to do so, The Hill reports.
Said Kirk: “Our time on this earth is limited, I know that better than most. Life comes down to who you love and who loves you back — government has no place in the middle.”
Meanwhile, The Hill also reports that Sen. Tom Carper (D-DE) said he now supports same-sex marriage, now leaving just seven Senate Democrats who have not publicly voiced support for allowing gays to marry.
