After much deliberation, and after reviewing the legal, public policy and civil-rights questions presented, I support marriage equality for same-sex couples and believe that DOMA should be repealed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I support same-sex marriage.
Until the courts put a stop to it, public debate over same-sex marriage displayed American democracy at its best. Individuals on both sides of the issue passionately, but respectfully, attempted to persuade their fellow citizens to accept their views.
I oppose a constitutional amendment against gay marriage.
I have not supported same-sex marriage. I have supported civil partnerships and contractual relationships.
Do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't.
I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.
I don't support gay marriage. I'm just not there, as far as believing in my heart that we should change 2,000 years of social policy in favor of a redefinition of the family.
I feel strongly for gay marriage to be accepted.
Today, I will vote in support of the Marriage Protection Amendment. I shall do so because like President Bush, I strongly believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
I don't support gay marriage, but I also don't support a constitutional amendment banning it. However, I do support same sex unions that would give gay couples all the rights, privileges and protections of marriage.
