32. Your article proves Kerry has been consistent.
His position has always remained that he was for equal rights through civil unions. That he came out against a 1996 piece of legislation crafted by republicans that denied civil union equal rights and criminalize gay marriage does not surprise me. Also his signing of a letter in 2002 opposing a Mass. constitutional amendment definning marriage as between a man and a woman is similarly consistent. The constitutional amendment did not mention civil unions as an alternative to gay marriage and Kerry was concerned about the civil rights issues. Barney Frank stated John Kerry has always made it clear to him that he did not support gay marriage, but was for civil unions with equal rights.
