where the folks who are elected to serve americans don't believe all americans should be treated equally? i'm excited that senator collins came out in support. it's great for us, it's great for america that this is all happening so rapidly. >> one of the first republicans in congress to publicly support same-sex marriage is congress richard rana of new york. and he won his primary tuesday night defeating a challenge by a conservative state assemblywoman. new york is more progressive than many other starts. but are there any lessons the gop can learn as a whole here? >> well, i think the lesson that republicans need to learn is if they want to build a viable national majority, they're going to have to eventually be for gay marriage. 60% of republicans, not democrats, are for gay marriage. it's inevitable. they can either follow or lead.
