Catholics Speak Out In Support Of Same-Sex Marriage
Via Associated Press
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, a former Maryland lieutenant governor and member of one of the nation’s most well-known Catholic political families, has joined supporters of a Maryland law allowing same-sex marriage.
Townsend, the eldest child of Robert F. Kennedy, noted her famous uncle John F. Kennedy’s emphasis on separation of church and state.
“All people, gay or straight, should have the opportunity to marry the person they love and raise the family that they want to raise,” Townsend said.
Maryland residents will vote in November on the referendum allowing gay marriage. Maine, Minnesota and Washington also have ballot measures on same-sex marriage this year.
