GOP should "deal with reality" on marriage trend, Gingrich says

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich this week said conservatives will need to find a way to accept the growing popularity of legal recognition of same-sex couples. 

"It is in every family. It is in every community. The momentum is clearly now in the direction in finding some way to ... accommodate and deal with reality. And the reality is going to be that in a number of American states -- and it will be more after 2014 -- gay relationships will be legal, period," Gingrich told The Huffington Post in a wide-ranging interview about his ideas on the future of the Republicanparty.
