Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina no longer supports a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, the former Hewlett-Packard executive told a blogger on Monday.

Fiorina suggested that the final word on the issue would be left to the U.S. Supreme Court, she said in the video. The court is currently considering a nationwide legalization of such a union in the landmark Obergefell vs. Hodges case pending before the nation's highest tribunal.

"I think the Supreme Court ruling will become the law of the land," the 60-year-old said.

"And however much I may agree or disagree with it, I wouldn't support an amendment to reverse it, and I very much hope that we would come to a place now in this nation where we can support (the justices') decision and at the same time support people's right to have -- to hold religious views and to protect their right to exercise those views," she added.

In her conversation with the Caffeinated Thoughts blog, Fiorina argued that competing prerogatives needed to be taken into account.

"I think this is a nation that should be able to accept and government shouldn't discriminate in how it provides benefits," she said, "and the people have a right to their religious freedoms."

When Fiorina had announced her 2016 White House run on May 4, the Wall Street Journal had pointed out that even though she branded herself as a social conservative, she had granted benefits to gay and lesbian couples and opposed a constitutional amendment to prohibit same-sex marriage as HP chief.

But, when she ran for Barbara Boxer's California Senate seat in 2010, Fiorina filled out a Christian Coalition survey saying she backed a federal marriage amendment, the Huffington Post noted.

"I do believe that marriage is between a man and a woman, but also have been consistent and clear that I support civil unions for gay and lesbian couples," she said during her campaign.

Meanwhile, other Republican presidential contenders, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, continue to insist on their staunch opposition to same-sex unions, even though support for marriage equality is growing within their party.
