From the Seattle Times:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2001856164_kerrygays12.html

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry, who opposes gay marriage and hints he might support a limited ban, just two years ago signed a letter with other congressional colleagues urging the Massachusetts Legislature to drop a constitutional amendment outlawing homosexual nuptials.

. . . snip. . .

When asked whether he might support Massachusetts' constitutional amendment, he said it was possible.

"It depends entirely on the language on whether it supports civil union and partnership or not."


So not only has Kerry shifted to the right on this issue, it appears he has done so SOLELY to win election -- selling gay people down the river to get the Presidency. He's gone from opposing anti-gay amendments to supporting ones that have "the right language." It appears to me he's put getting elected as more important than the rights of GLBT people. :puke:
