Frist Denies Gay Marriage Vote Timing Political
(Washington) Senate action on banning gay marriage has become a priority because judges are redefining marriage as more than just the union of a man and woman as they allow same-sex couples to marry, the Senate majority leader said Sunday.

Sen. Bill Frist rejected a suggestion that he scheduled the debate in mid-July to embarrass his fellow senator, John Kerry, who a few days later will be nominated as the Democrats' challenger against President Bush in November's election.

"That's the most common question: `Why do you bring up the marriage amendment at this point in time?' And `These are for political reasons, coming into the convention.' And the answer is "Absolutely, no," said Frist, R-Tenn.

He noted that Kerry was among 14 senators who voted against the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law by President Clinton, a Democrat.
