(DENVER, CO) – A group of current and former Republican lawmakers from the Intermountain West is coming out in favor of gay marriage. The group, which includes former Sen. Alan Simpson of Wyoming, is filing a friend of the court brief opposing same-sex marriage bans in Utah and Oklahoma. A draft given to the press included statements about equal rights from conservative giants like Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, though neither man ever formally endorsed gay marriage. The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals will begin hearing arguments for both cases next month.
