John McCain’s Daughter Celebrates Marriage Equality in Arizona

This week a judge struck down the Arizona’s same-sex marriage ban, and the state’s attorney general declined to appeal – allowing marriages to begin immediately.

The daughter of former Republican presidential candidate, Meghan McCain was jubilant at the news and has celebrated equal marriage arriving in the family’s home state of Arizona.

Meghan McCain is a longtime supporter of marriage equality, and joined Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry leadership in November 2012. She is rights activist who sits on the board of rights charity GLAAD despite her father’s opposition to equal marriage.

Senator John McCain continues to oppose equal marriage, despite both his wife and daughter supporting it.

He said last year:

“I have changed my position on other issues in my life, but on this one, I had not contemplated changing my position.”
