John McCain is going on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” today to express moderate support for same-sex couples. He urges gay couples to enter “legal agreements” for the purposes of “insurance and other areas, decision that have to be made.” You can see McCain’s comments and Ellen’s eloquence on the issue here:
Problem is, in 2006 McCain campaigned for Arizona Proposition 107 (video here), which, according to the proposition’s website, sought to ban not only gay marriage and but also “giving recognition or benefits to marriage counterfeits, like ‘civil unions’ or ‘domestic partnerships.'” That would suggest McCain’s record doesn’t match his words. Maybe his thinking has evolved in two years?
