Author, novelist, publisher, James Peron discusses, The Rodney Dangerfield of Politics: Gary Johnson, His Message and Evolving, in this week's Huffington Post.  Finally, Johnson comes to gay marriage.

Peron writes, Johnson sees his recent announcement of support for gay marriage as a natural part of being open-minded and letting one's positions evolve with the facts. While previously he supported civil unions, he realized that "it sounds well and good, but you would have to go through every law to change it every place the word 'marriage' was mentioned. The reality of what I was saying was it would be difficult to implement, line by line, where 'marriage' appeared." As for marriage equality itself, "I always had an open mind on it. I think the right position is gay marriage as opposed to gay unions; otherwise, it's just a lot of words."
