In reply to the discussion: Has Sanders really always supported marriage equality [View all]dsc
(52,147 posts)but by how much and how unsafe was it. The earliest I have found is a self serving statement after the fact of support in 2009 when his state enacted marriage without a court ordering it to do so. I believe they were the first to do that but I might be wrong on that. Conversely she was serving in a non political position in an administration that opposed marriage equality so we have no idea what her opinion on marriage was from 2009 through 2012. Quickly after leaving that position she announced she favored marriage. Now he might have favored marriage back in 1996. He might have in 2000. I don't know. I have repeatedly, as in over and over and over again, asked for any contemporaneous record of him having done so. I have repeatedly, as in over and over and over again been stiffed.
