Clinton's Change of Heart

I was watching KTLA at 5pm and they had a story of Bill Clinton's change of views on homosexual marriages. They stated that he had a change of heart, so to say, and now supports the issue. The news did not go into details but I was certainly interested in the story. I researched it on the internet, and found that he announced his change sometime mid-July. I found a website that gives quite a few details about the situation, but one that I found to be the most important was a quote from Bill Clinton saying, "I personally support people doing what they what to do." He then goes on to say, "...I think it's wrong for someone to stop someone else from doing that. That's what I think." I do not believe they left out any information, however, I would have liked them to give some information about when or even why Clinton had a change of heart on the issue. I would have also liked to know why he felt so strongly against it before, considering he signed the federal Defense of Marriage Act. I agree with Clinton now, supporting gay marriages. I feel that a person should be able to love anyone they want, and not be told who they should or should not love. I would not want to be told who to be with, as would many others, so why should we do it to someone else? I believe it is not in any one's place to say a person cannot be with another one because of something, such as race, sexuality, or even a small personal characteristic. This story does not affect me, but I do think it is an important story because it shows that at least one more person supports gay marriages.
