Jon Huntsman Endorses Gay Marriage

Says it's a "conservative cause"

Former Utah Governor and 2012 presidential candidate Jon Huntsman is speaking out in favor of same-sex marriage, saying it's actually a very conservative idea.

In an op-ed for The American Conservative, Huntsman writes about pushing for civil unions and equality for the LGBTQ community as Governor of Utah.

Now, the Republican adds, it's time for his party to step up.
