Bobby Jindal says he'd 'absolutely' attend same-sex wedding

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said Saturday that his preference for what he calls the "traditional view of marriage" wouldn't stop him from attending the same-sex wedding of a loved one.

"Sure, if it's somebody I loved and cared for, absolutely," Jindal told reporters.

"Now, the reality is I don't like attending a lot of weddings," he joked.

Jindal has been an outspoken opponent of same-sex marriage and voiced strong support Saturday for religious liberty laws like the one in Indiana earlier this year, which sought to protect individuals who objected to participating in same-sex weddings but came under fire for being discriminatory against same-sex couples.

The Indiana law has since been tweaked, and during his speech at Iowa's Faith and Freedom summit on Saturday, Jindal blasted corporations that sided with critics of the law.

"We've got legislation in Louisiana to protect people of faith and conscience who hold a traditional view of marriage," he said. "They might as well save their breath, because corporate America is not going to bully the governor of Louisiana."
