Over the last few years, dozens of politicians have evolved on this issue. As a presidential candidate in 2008, Clinton opposed same-sex marriage but supported the idea of civil unions. Since then, polls show the number of Americans supporting same-sex marriage has increased dramatically. In 1996, less than 30 percent of Americans favored gay marriage and as of February 2014, more than half the country is supporting it.<\/p>\n<p>Despite shifting her support after other prominent Democrats, Clinton&#8217;s change in thinking holds special meaning for one gay couple in Chicago.
