THOMPSON OPPOSES CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT BANNING GAY MARRIAGE |
| New York City
Comptroller William C. Thompson, Jr. today announced his opposition
to President Bush’s proposal to amend the Constitution to prohibit
gays and lesbians from marrying.
“This is an absolute abuse of the constitutional amendment
process and nothing more than political pandering on the part of
the president,” Comptroller Thompson said. “As a longtime
supporter of the right of gays and lesbians to marry, I am outraged
by the president’s action.”
