In an interview with Bret Baier from Fox News,
potential GOP presidential nominee Rand Paul came out in support of
“traditional marriage,” before admitting that using the term ‘marriage’
for same sex couples offends him.
According to the Washington Blade,
the Kentucky senator who describes himself as a “libertarian
conservative’ has strong feelings when it comes to how marriage is
defined.
“I
think marriage is between a man and a woman. Ultimately, we could have
fixed this a long time ago if we just allowed contracts between adults.
We didn’t have to call it marriage, which offends myself and a lot of
people,” he told Baier.
Paul went on to describe the bond between two adults as more of a
business than a loving relationship, saying, “I think having competing
contracts that would give them equivalency before the law would have
solved a lot of these problems, and it may be where we’re still headed.”
Previously Paul said he didn’t think the government needs to be too involved in the same sex marriage debate, and shrugged off whether he might some day rethink his position.
