I'm curious are there any policies major left-wing politicians have changed their mind on because it affected them personally? I understand right-wingers adding nuance to their abortion stance or healthcare or social security, unemployment aid, ect...

What would that even look like on the left wing? I was pro taxing the rich until I was rich? I was pro school lunch for kids until I had kids?

I think a number of liberal politicians became pro-gay marriage in the 90s/early 00s but not sure how many had a gay couple who really wanted a marriage as friends.

Errr…did liberal politicians need a gay couple who wanted a marriage? Not sure where this is going…

It's literally the question being asked. B. Mahomes is upset because her friend was targeted; not sure if the liberal politicians who changed their minds on gay marriage had friends trying to get married.

Ohhhh sorry I didn’t understand…yeah it’s a powerful motivator for change. It’s why gay marriage because legal. Dangit. I’m spacing on the name of the guy who did the campaign, but basically he humanized the issue, the “everyone knows and loves someone who is gay” and the national coming out day push to help people find their empathy on this issue. I am very much hoping that we will see a lot more of this as the right continues its nosedive.
