Dean opposes gay marriage.
Edited on Wed Feb-11-04 11:42 PM by Feanorcurufinwe
Early assumptions following the Court's December 20 decision were that domestic partnership is the only real plan of action. Governor Howard Dean has said on several occasions that he would support domestic partnership legislation, but is uncomfortable with the idea of actual gay marriage. Dean has recently clarified his position, declaring in a radio interview, "I'm against gay marriage."

I've gotten the impression there is some confusion on this issue.

3. He's not proposing a constitutional amendment banning it
That's what everyone is dissappointed over.

Dean said the Mass SC decision was a step towards equality under the law. Kerry denounced the decision.

Dean said that the decision shouldn't be used to try and pass an amendment. Kerry said he might support an amendment depending on the wording.
