In a Q&A session, affectionately called a Press Gaggle, Aboard Air Force One on February 17th, Press Secretary Jay Carney en route Seattle, WA, fielded a very straight forward question on Gay Marriage…
Q Since we’re going to Washington, Washington State legalized same-sex marriage this month. And as you know, Governor Christie is promising to veto a bill legalizing same-sex marriage that passed the New Jersey assembly. I’m just wondering what does the President think about Washington State’s decision and then Governor Christie’s vow to veto legislation?
Press Secretary Carney’s response however was somewhat less than clear….
Well, I would say only broadly, as I have said in the past, without weighing into individual states and their actions, that this President strongly supports the notion that the states should be able to decide this issue, and he opposes actions that take away rights that have been established by those states. But I’m not going to comment specifically on individual states.
The Reported followed with yet another straight forward logical question….
Q Is his view on same-sex marriage, though, still evolving? Or how would you describe it?
And…you guessed it….Press Secretary Carney’s response:
I have no update for you on that
That says a lot I guess
