For some reason I find myself doubting this story.

Via The Hill:

…Biden joked at the opening of his remarks, “I take credit for everything.” Turning serious, he told the activists gathered in the audience, “You don’t owe me or Valerie [Jarrett] or the president or anybody any thanks. We owe you.”

“You risked a great deal,” he added. “I risked nothing holding this position I have had for so many years.”

The vice president said his views about gay rights were formed as a teenager when he was riding in the car with his father in his hometown of Wilmington, Del. They saw two men kissing each other on their way to work.

When Biden asked his father about it, he replied, “Joey, they love each other. It’s simple.”
