DescriptionNewt Gingrich has conceded that momentum is on the side of supporters of gay marriage.

While not endorsing gay nuptials, Gingrich, the former House Speaker and a leading candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, told The Huffington Post that he was prepared to accept “a legal document issued by the state” for gay and lesbian couples.

“I think that this will be much more difficult than immigration for conservatism to come to grips with,” he said after referencing the results of the November 6 election. “It is in every family. It is in every community. The momentum is clearly now in the direction in finding some way to … accommodate and deal with reality. And the reality is going to be that in a number of American states – and it will be more after 2014 – gay relationships will be legal, period.”
