Re: State debates gay marriage

I am glad Rep. [Emily] Cain has come around and has publicly chosen the right position in support of marriage equality. But I have to say, claiming it was the “main reason” she ran for office in 2004 appears to be a bit of revisionism.

Perhaps I’m wrong and it secretly was the main reason she ran, but as recently as a debate in fall 2006 when she was running for re-election, Rep. Cain said she was simply “not there yet” on same-sex marriage. I was there and remember it very clearly.

But like I said, I’m glad she has come down on the right side of the issue. I think it is a positive sign when public opinion has changed so much that elected officials like Rep. Cain feel compelled to take positions on the side of marriage equality, even to the extent of embellishment in this instance.
