Did you support gay marriage before Hillary Clinton?

[Cryptic]

I've supported it ever since I first formulated political opinions back around 2003 or so.

I didnt support it until Oct 2013(Until I was like a Junior in high school) and still dont personally approve it but its their choice and the governement shoudnt have the right to dictate on who gets married or not.

I supported Gay Marriage before some of you were even born. 

I was maid of honor at a lesbian wedding in 1992.

I don't really know, since I never really bought into the anti-gay marriage views that a lot of Democrats have had in the past. I think for many that it was a political stance rather than an actual personal opposition. Just like President Obama, I think her public opposition was a political stance and that she actually has been supportive of marriage equality for quite some time now.

As for her public view, yes, I was supportive of gay marriage before her. I don't know really know that there's one day where I shifted in support. When the issue really came into focus in 2004, I was in favour of the moderate compromise of civil unions. I wasn't really in favour of or opposed to gay marriage. However, I was very much opposed to the constitutional marriage bans that were being pushed through at that point. Basically, I thought the issue needed to evolve through the political process. Sometime after that was when I truly became supportive of gay marriage (maybe 2005 or 2006). I was quite happy to see the California Supreme Court rule in favour of marriage equality in 2008. It wasn't until Prop 8 passed that the issue became one of high importance to me. That result still remains one of the most shocking to me and also one of the most disappointing and disturbing.

I've supported it as long as I've known what it was.

I've never been against gay marriage, although I have changed my opinion on the "states' rights" aspect of the argument (in favor to against), and whether civil unions are "good enough" (yes to no).
