Tim Kaine married a lesbian couple the night of Donald Trump's inauguration
By Jeff Taylor · Wednesday, January 25, 2017
Hillary Clintons former running mate Senator Tim Kaine officiated his first same-sex wedding on the same day President Donald Trump was sworn in as president.
Kaine joined Dea Jones and Sharon McLeod, who are 64 and 61 respectively, in marriage on Jan. 20, with the Kentucky couple rushing to make it legal due to concerns over what a Trump administration might mean for gay marriage rights.

The couple met in 2000 and had a commitment ceremony two years later.
We hadnt been in a hurry to make it legal, McLeod told Roll Call. We really were hoping to do it as soon as we could before the Trump administration.
Kaine is friends with Jones brother, and the senator and his staff were the ones who floated Inauguration Day as a good day to have the ceremony.
