McCain officially endorses amendment seeking gay marriage ban...
It's no surprise but still makes me sick.
The Advocate.com is exclusively reporting that John McCain has officially changed his position on California's marriage amendment from neutral to endorsing the efforts to prohibit gay marriage.
This is according to a statement by the Log Cabin Republicans who, I would think, gotta feel pretty crummy about a gay Republican today.. There had been a statement released last week froim the pro ballot measure group that McCain was now with them. Log Cabin folks released a statement today "Late last week, the group pushing California's anti-marriage constitutional amendment released an email from a McCain staffer saying the Senator backed the amendment. We now have confirmation that this represents the Senator's view."
Log Cabin Republican President Patrick Sammon said in a statement: "Unfortunately, his position on this amendment hurts gay and lesbian families. We obviously disagree with Senator McCain on this issue and do not believe he should have interjected himself into this state issue," Sammon said in the release. "Backing California's ban sends the wrong signal to the independents who will decide this election because it creates the impression that he's pandering to social conservative leaders."
