Senators aren't swayed on marriage, despite shifting public opinion

Senators who oppose allowing same-sex couples to marry have told Politico their views haven't changed, despite the rapid shift in opinion polls on the issue. 

"I don't mind if people are able to transfer their property, visit their loved ones in hospitals, but marriage to me, I've stayed with the concept of traditional marriage," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. 

When asked his opinion, Sen Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said, "I'm not gay, so I'm not going to marry one."
