'Different Instead of Somebody Being Wrong,' Marriage Equality Gains Support in ABC/Wash-Post Poll

For Mark Uhron, it was his clients' financial entanglements that led to a change of heart on gay marriage.

"I'm dealing with a lot of clients now who have partners and don't know if benefits are going to get extended to them. It complicates their whole financial picture," Uhron, a white, Catholic, conservative Republican and financial adviser in Vienna, Va., told ABC News.

"I just think that it should be a state decision," said Uhron, a Navy veteran who knew of service members discharged for being gay before the military instated its since-repealed "don't ask, don't tell" policy. "I suppose same-sex couples have every right to be as miserable as the rest of us, so why shouldn't they be allowed to get married?"
