Saturday, August 07, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M. Kerry OK with gay-marriage ban By Los Angeles Times
The Democratic presidential nominee, who spent parts of two days stumping across the state, told The Kansas City Star the ballot measure was the same as one his home state of Massachusetts passed a few years ago. Kerry supported that measure. In a separate interview with Kansas City's NBC affiliate, Kerry reiterated that he and Sen. John Edwards oppose gay marriage, although they favor civil unions. "We've always argued the states will be capable of taking care of this by themselves," Kerry said. "... We didn't need a [federal] constitutional amendment in order to do what's right." Kerry was referring to a proposed amendment, backed by President Bush, that would outlaw same-sex marriage. The Senate has derailed the amendment. Copyright © 2004 The Seattle Times Company
