WOW!! Those are some major endorsements right there. While Obama is still "evolving" on same sex marriage, Joe Biden has finally come out in support of same sex marriage. The Vice President appeared on Meet the Press and says he is "absolutely comfortable" with same sex marriage and believes we all have the rights to the same civil liberties. Nice! He doesn't comment on whether or not the Obama administration will eventually endorse marriage equality, but he is standing up for the LGBT community and even says "Will & Grace probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody has ever done so far." Cool. I would agree with that and of course throw in Ellen, who really started the ball rolling in my opinion. Meanwhile, Education Secretary Arne Duncan went on Morning Joe and was asked by the panel what his views on same sexy marriage were. They are asking everyone on the cabinet, by the way. Well, he answered them simply and straight forward. Check out his response below Biden's full explanation below. We're getting there!!!

STRAIGHT WRESTLER/COACH FORMS ORGANIZATION IN SUPPORT OF GAY ATHLETES
Thomas Roberts on MSNBC interviews former champion wrestler and Columbia wrestling coach Hudson Taylor about Athlete Ally, an organization and website Taylor started to "encourage athletes, parents, coaches, fans and other members of the sports community to respect all individuals involved in sports,regardless of perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity or expression." In his interview, Taylor says he tells his athletes now that athletics should be a safe place for everybody. He even wears a Human Rights Campaign sticker on his head gear! YAY!! Not to mention posting for the NOH8 campaign (pictured). Go to athleteally.com and take the pledge if you're an athlete. Taylor is a true inspiration, a great athlete and a superb role model. Oh, and are these to two most handsome men ever on the scene at the same time on a news show? I think so, yes.
