Kevin McCullough on Gay Marriage

Blogging bud and syndicated radio talk show host Kevin McCullough has a new column over at World Net Daily, pointing out why the recent Massachusetts' Supreme Court ruling is likely to be the catalyst that forces the issue at the state level...and the outcome won't be what those who applaud the ruling hoped for.

I think Kevin is probably right on both accounts. I really don't like the idea of having to use the US Constitution to deal with issues like this, but it appears that an amendment is becoming the only way to ensure that the belief of a vast majority of Americans is not trampled on by a vocal few.

However, I must take mild exception to one thing Kevin writes, and that is in regard to John Kerry's reaction to the Massachusetts' ruling. While I am no Kerry fan -- that's an understatement, in fact -- I feel obligated to point out that Kerry went on record yesterday as not agreeing with the court ruling. See this this article in The Salt Lake Tribune...

"I support equal rights, the right of people to have civil unions, to have partner rights. I do not support marriage" for gays and lesbians, he said.

Asked if he would support a state constitutional amendment barring gay and lesbian marriages, Kerry didn't rule out the possibility. "I'll have to see what language there is," he said.

Now, whether or not you believe Mr. Kerry is speaking in sincerity, at the very least this quote should be held in reserve in case it becomes relevant in the future. God forbid.

You bit your tongue, right?
