It's possible to believe DOMA was a mean-spirited attack on gays, even if you personally don't believe gays should marry, because other people in your state might disagree with you and you might think living with that result is better than having Frist and Hastert decide.

Also, it's entirely possible that Kerry thinks the feds should live with whatever the states decide about which of their citizens can marry because defining familial relations on biblical and "traditional" principles isn't an enumerated power of Congress.

Kerry believes whatever is politically expedient. He is like many other politicians in this regard, but he's not as good at masking it.
