I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.

I oppose a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.

I'm not a gay rights activist.

I don't think I've ever used the word 'gay rights,' because I don't really believe in rights based on your behavior.

I'm not against gay people.

I support allowing homosexuals to serve openly in our military and eliminating the 'don't ask, don't tell' policy.

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

I do not support a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage.
