Statement of Governor Dean on Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Ruling>

MANCHESTER--Democratic presidential candidate Governor Howard Dean, M.D., issued the following statement today in response to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruling:

"As Governor of Vermont, I was proud to sign the nation's first law establishing civil unions for same-sex couples. Today, the Massachusetts Court appears to have taken a similar approach to the Vermont Supreme Court and its decision that led to our civil unions law. One way or another, the state should afford same-sex couples equal treatment under law in areas such as health insurance, hospital visitation and inheritance rights.

"There will be those who try to use the decision today to divide Americans. Instead, this decision should be viewed as an opportunity to affirm what binds us together -- a fundamental belief in the equality of human beings, regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation."

Statement from John Kerry on Massachusetts Gay Marriage Ruling

November 18, 2003

For Immediate Release

“I have long believed that gay men and lesbians should be assured equal protection and the same benefits – from health to survivor benefits to hospital visitation - that all families deserve. While I continue to oppose gay marriage, I believe that today’s decision calls on the Massachusetts state legislature to take action to ensure equal protection for gay couples. These protections are long over due.”

If Dean is nominated, I believe his position on gay marriage will turn-off the general population easily as much as his tax-hike proposals will.

I can't imagine Dean winning the White House.

Oh boy... we all knew that.

And that's the reason Howard Dean will never be elected Pres.

I assume by sexual orientation he means gay, lesbian, transgendered, transvestite, questioning, cross generation "love", and fill in the blank...

That's right. Those people are the MA Supreme Court judges.
