does NOT say that Kerry backed the anti-gay amendments in 2004. He didn't. This is about a 2005 MA amendment that Kerry neither supported or fought against.
Kerry has an excellent record on gay rights since he entered the Senate. He doesn't believe in gay marriage because marriage is both a sacrament AND a legal status. What he supports in civil unions with all the rights of marriage. NJ now has this - and I assume that many people taking advantage of it will send out WEDDING invitations and will say they are "married" - and that is not illegal. The fact is that in liberal NJ, this was supported by far more than half the population - where using the word "marriage" took it well below 50%.
As to the link - I couldn't quickly find the Newsweek link and didn't think it was worth the effort.
