WASHINGTON, DC – During an appearance this Sunday on “Meet the Press”, Vice President Joseph Biden Jr. said that he is “comfortable” with gay marriages, and that marriage equality would simply be extending the same rights to all Americans, regardless of the sexual identity.

Speaking with NBC’s David Gregory, Biden said “I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties.”

“I just think that the good news is that as more and more Americans come to understand what this is all about is a simple proposition. Who do you love? Who do you love?” Biden asked rhetorically. “And will you be loyal to the person you love? And that’s what people are finding out is what, what all marriages, at their root, are about. Whether they’re marriages of lesbians or gay men or heterosexuals.”
