President Obama remained steadfast during his "evolution" toward saying "I do" to marriage equality. But if anyone embedded in the inner O circle had a slight chance of pressing the pause button on history, it was Rev. Joel Hunter, President Obama's spiritual adviser.
Rev. Hunter joined MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell today to talk about the conversation he had with Obama the day the president came out of the closet for same-sex marriage, and how he politely disagreed with the "stance."

In a vote that fell squarely along party lines, Virginia's House of Delegates voted today to deny a judicial nomination to Tracy Thorne-Begland, who would have become the state's first openly gay judge.
Thorne-Begland’s vote resulted in 33 “yes” votes to 31 “nay” votes. All 31 nay votes came from Republican delegates, who argued that his “lifestyle” and support for LGBT causes would make it impossible for him to be an impartial judge. Thorne-Begland required a 51-vote majority amongst House delegates to be approved.
