From today's Kansas City Star

"Kerry did say that he would have voted for Amendment 2, the constitutional amendment banning gay marriage that passed overwhelmingly Tuesday. He said that Massachusetts passed the same type of amendment a few years ago and that he supported it."
Ever since Kerry locked up the nomination, I've been wondering how far he would pander the center-right for votes.
Well, I've got my answer.
This time, it's my life, my civil rights, my family he's decided to trade in.
To say nothing of the small matter of the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection for all citizens, not just those the majority approves of.
Please understand, we just worked our tails off for four months to defeat this hateful, unnecessary amendment, all the while contributing what we could to the Kerry campaign. Our community sacrificed and came together like never before to defeat this attack on equality and on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Missourians.
And then Kerry has the gall to come out in favor of it. Publicly. More than once.
I'm having difficulty putting my rage into words. But once I've got some together, I'm sending them to Tony Wilson, Kerry's MO co-ordinator.
