President George W. Bush said Feb. 24 he supports a constitutional amendment, following a ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Court allowing gay marriages and a decision by San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom to issue marriage licenses to same- sex couples. Kerry has said opposes a constitutional amendment, preferring to leave it to the states to decide what type of unions to allow. Kerry voted against a 1996 federal law that defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on gay marriages today.
