Lawrence clarifies view on gay marriage
I got a call yesterday from Mark Lawrence, one of the six Democratic candidates for Congress in Maine's 1st District. He was calling about this story in Monday's Press Herald.
Based on an interview with Lawrence earlier this month, I had written the following: "Lawrence refused to voice an opinion on either gay marriage or civil unions, saying he would state his view if there were a proposal for gay marriage or civil unions in Maine. He did say he is against a federal constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, and he added that homosexual couples` relationships are as valuable as straight couples` relationships."
During yesterday's phone call, Lawrence answered the question directly: “I do support gay marriage and would support civil unions.”
