In response to a question(in response to during HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN/LOGO network sponsored debate) about whether marriage should be made legally available to two committed adults of the same sex, the (person) marked that (person) was "opposed"
May, 2007

opposed same-sex marriage as a candidate for the Senate, while in office as a senator, and while running for president in 2008".
