DescriptionSen. Bob Casey (D-PA), a conservative Democrat and one of the last holdouts in his party on the issue of gay marriage, on Monday announced his support for marriage equality.

“After much deliberation and after reviewing the legal, public policy and civil-rights questions presented, I support marriage equality for same-sex couples and believe that DOMA should be repealed,” Casey told the Philadelphia Gay News Monday afternoon.

Casey said he began to reexamine his position on gay marriage in 2011 and that input from his constituents in Pennsylvania helped him come around to supporting it.
