Presidential Candidates On Civil Unions & SSM
From "Presidential Candidates On Civil Unions & Same-Sex Marriage," KOIN-TV (OR), January 4, 2008::
…Here's a rundown:
- Hillary Clinton: Does not directly support same-sex marriage, but voted against a constitutional ban on them. Supports civil unions.
- Barack Obama: Does not directly support same-sex marriage, but also voted against a constitutional ban on them. Supports civil unions.
- John McCain: Opposes same-sex marriage, but has a mixed record on whether it should be allowed by individual states; like Clinton and Obama, voted against a constitutional ban. Does not overtly support civil unions, but would not stop states from allowing them.
- Mitt Romney: Opposes both same-sex marriages and supports a constitutional ban on them. Also opposes civil unions.
- Mike Huckabee: Like Romney, opposes same-sex marriages and supports a constitutional amendment to ban them. Also opposes civil unions.
- Ron Paul: Has a mixed record on same-sex marriages and civil unions, but because of his libertarian background, he's considered the most liberal of the Republicans on gay rights issues. Opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages.
