• Thompson Defends Gay Marriage Stance

Thompson favors a constitutional amendment that bars judges from legalizing gay marriage, but also leaves open the door for state legislatures to approve the practice. He said social and religious conservatives who would prefer an amendment that also bars legislatures from legalizing gay marriage can live with his view.

Leaving it open for states doesn't thrill me, but considering most legislators are against it, this isn't too bad. What do you think?
