You still haven't responded to my post, which made his actual position abundantly clear. You're afraid gay people think Kerry favors some kind of federal approval of gay marriage? Then you're nuts. In my experience, gay people are marginally smarter than straights with similar backgrounds and education, probably because they spent their entire adolescence thinking more and harder about more difficult things that the rest of us do. As a result, very few of them are dumb enough to think that such a thing is possible. They will vote en masse for Kerry because he's the candidate who won't actively try to stab them in the back. Okay, poor choice of words. Some will vote for Nader, but Kerry can't get those people by promising them federal gay marriage.

I responded via my post to Wonk. When you speak to a gay audience and tell them that DOMA is a mean spirited attack on them, the impression you are leaving is that you back their right to marry. To then later come out and say you are against gay marriage leaves your initial stance disingenuous.
