Former Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern offered praise of President Barack Obama’s support for same-sex marriage.
The liberal lion, who will turn 90 this summer, told a newspaper in his native South Dakota that he is also in favor of same-sex marriage on “conservative” grounds.
“I’m a ‘conservative’ when it comes to marriage,” McGovern said. “I think if two people love each other, are living together and having sex, they ought to get married.”
