| Senator's Comments: |
I support gay marriage, and believe states and localities should be able to legally recognize them. I will oppose a Federal Marriage Amendment and any attempt to write discrimination into the Constitution. I've backed tougher sentences for hate crimes, and if elected, I fight for real equality for all Americans. Source: RIfuture.org blog Sep 12, 2006
