KERRY BACKS MO. SSM BAN: From the Washington Blade

One day after Missourians overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry made a campaign swing through the state and lauded voters for approving the measure.

"We support nondiscrimination against our fellow Americans," Kerry said in an interview with the NBC affiliate in Kansas City. "We've always argued that states will be capable of taking care of this by themselves. [The Missouri vote] I think bears out that we didn't need a [federal] constitutional amendment in order to do what's right."

Kerry also said he would have voted in favor of the measure, according to the interview.
