Pro Gay Marriage Ban Governor Says He Would Attend Gay Wedding

In a recent interview with CNN, Louisiana Governor, Bobby Jindal, told reporters that if he were ever invited to the marriage of  a gay couple he would surely attend it. This is to the contrary ideal of the past  legislation that Jindal proposed.  In his last few years as governor, Jindal has proposed laws that protect people who refuse to participate in gay weddings and ban gay marriage in Louisiana. In the past, Jindal has spoken out heartily against corporations that have tried to pressure him into lifting the gay marriage ban that was and still is present in Louisiana at this time. Jindal also has condemned the Supreme Court for trying to legislate gay marriage laws through trials over the issue. But despite his opposition to any law, lobbyist,etc... trying to remove the gay marriage ban in Louisiana, Jindal stands strong to attending the weddings of those close to him that are gay.

I found this article to be very heartwarming. All political and religious beliefs aside, Jindal has the kind heart to attend the wedding of a gay friend. He shows us a trait that what seems to be almost lost in our modern world, trust of conscience. The church, media and government are always telling us what is right and wrong, and many people are so caught up in doctrine and teaching that they forget to see what their heart says about something. Very few of us have Huckleberry Finn moments anymore where we decide that what everyone else's beliefs are wrong and what our heart tells us is right. Jindal does this though. While his political agenda and religious beliefs might go along with the majority of his home state, when it comes down to the important things in life, like weddings, he will defy the crowd and support a gay person when it matters most. Im not saying that he turns pro gay marriage every time he goes to a gay wedding. I am saying that Bobby Jindal is an example for all of us because even though we might not agree with someone we still should support them because we know it is the right thing to do.
