Sen. Marco Rubio wants to be president. To do that he’s got to sound reasonable.<\/p>\n

The young Florida Republican, by golly, is starting to get some traction on the reasonableness bandwagon.<\/p>\n

One’s sexual orientation, he said today on “Face the Nation,” is not a choice. It’s who that person is.<\/p>\n

Good call, senator.<\/p>\n

He stops short of endorsing gay marriage, though. He believes marriage should be a union involving a man and a woman. He says he favors “traditional” marriage.<\/p>\n

I am heartened, though, to understand that he does not buy into the tripe being tossed around that someone states a “preference” for being intimate with someone else. I’ve long believed sexual orientation — whether it’s heterosexual or homosexual — is part of a person’s DNA.<\/p>\n

I’m glad to see that Marco Rubio understands it, too.<\/p>\n

Now, if we can just get him to change his mind about normalizing relations with Cuba …<\/p>\n
