The Nation is reporting that former President Bill Clinton has come out in favor of full marriage equality for same-sex couples, a reversal of his long-held position that civil unions were the most appropriate way to deal with unequal partner rights and benefits.  The Nation reported:

After speaking at the Campus Progress National Conference in Washington, DC, on July 8, the former president was asked if he supported same-sex marriage. Clinton, in a departure from past statements, replied in the affirmative.

Asked if he personally supported same-sex marriage, Clinton replied, “Yeah.” “I personally support people doing what they want to do,” Clinton said. “I think it’s wrong for someone to stop someone else from doing that [same-sex marriage].”
