Al Franken stars in video supporting marriage equality [VIDEO]

Franken supports marriage equality, though he might not have a firm grasp on how widely his stance is shared.

​Not that there was much doubt about his stance to begin with, but Senator Franken has made it clear that he supports marriage equality.

In a video released yesterday by the Human Rights Campaign, Franken points out that he's been married to his wife, Franni, for 36 years -- "many of them happy." He says he believes "everyone should be able to marry the person they love, and I think our government should help people make those loving, life-long commitments."

He later asks viewers to "join me and the majority of Americans who support marriage equality." There's only one problem with that -- recent polling indicates a plurality of folks in Franken's left-leaning home state actually support restricting marriage to one man and one woman.
