KERRY ON GAY UNIONS: From the New York Daily News

JOHN KERRY TOLD a gay magazine that he would be the first President to push for same-sex civil unions--even though he still opposes gay marriage.

The Democratic candidate said he agrees with the vast majority of Americans that marriage should be between a man and a woman, but he also said civil unions should hold the same legal weight. "I am for civil unions. Tell me what presidential candidate in the history of the nation has supported that?" he told The Advocate for its Oct. 26 edition. "I'm for equality." ...

He blasted President Bush for proposing a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage and predicted Bush would appoint anti-gay Supreme Court judges if he's reelected.
