Caroline Kennedy supports full support for same-sex marriage rights

”I am pleased to hear that Caroline Kennedy through a spokesman expressed support for marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples. In the coming weeks I look forward to hearing in her own voice how she will work to advance equality of [lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender] people. If [Kennedy is] selected, at least half of New York’s representation in the United States Senate will finally support equal marriage rights for same sex couples.”

Empire State Pride Agenda, Alan Van Capelle, who contrasted potential New York’s Senate replacement Caroline Kennedy‘s views to those of Senator Chuck Schumer who, like Senator Hillary Clinton and unlike most of the state’s other elected officials, opposes same-sex marriage. (Politico)
