Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska endorsed same-sex marriage Wednesday, making her the third Republican senator to switch positions on the issue.

In an op-ed published on her website, Murkowski, who backed a 1998 constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, said her evolution on the topic coincided with the thinking of “more and more Alaskans especially our younger generations.”
