Listen To The Speech A Republican Lawmaker Gave At His Gay Son's Wedding Days After Voting Against Marriage Equality

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

74% : "We're just blessed, and we just want to say thank you to everyone here as part of the celebration," said Rep. Glenn Thompson, three days after voting against codifying marriage equality in federal law.
49% : "Should the Supreme Court overturn Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 case that enshrined marriage equality nationwide, individual states would once again have the power to determine whether or not to refuse marriage licenses to two people of the same sex.
48% : He was one of 157 House Republicans who voted against the Respect for Marriage Act, which acts as a failsafe in case the Supreme Court reverses itself on marriage equality -- something LGBTQ activists fear is a very real possibility following the court's overturning of abortion protections.
44% : But as some in the crowd knew -- and some would later learn -- Thompson had just three days earlier voted against a bill that would codify federal protections for marriage equality.
