on gay marriage

compare this:

you don't allocate civil rights by who makes you comfortable and who doesn't.  i believe that civil unions was a masterful way of making sure that every gay and lesbian vermonter was entitled to the same rights as everybody else — without getting into the business about telling the churches who they could marry and who they couldn't marry.  i think what we did was the right thing.

to this:

if necessary, i will support a constitutional amendment which would honor marriage between a man and a woman, codify that, and will — the position of this administration is that whatever legal arrangements people want to make, they're allowed to mamke, so long as it's embraced by the state, or does start at the state level.

as if there were any question over who has my vote...
