This just affirms the amoral abyss that infects the current Democratic field campaigning for the 2008 Democratic nomination for President. It is getting harder and harder to distinguish these people from great founders and ensuing leaders that built this country and made it what it is. Bravo to the Edwards for trying to carry on that tradition.

Elizabeth Edwards Supports Gay Marriage

SAN FRANCISCO — Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards, kicked off San Francisco’s annual gay pride parade Sunday by splitting with her husband over support for legalized gay marriage.

“I don’t know why someone else’s marriage has anything to do with me,” Mrs. Edwards said at a news conference before the parade started. “I’m completely comfortable with gay marriage.”

San Francisco’s gay pride parade is a campy civil rights celebration, sprinkled with drag queens, leather chaps and a healthy dose of nudity _ but very few, if any, mainstream, national politicians. Even San Francisco resident Sen. Dianne Feinstein, when she served as mayor here from 1978 to 1988, never rode in the annual parade that started in 1970.

“This is definitely a step in the right direction in the evolution of the civil rights fight,” Leno said. “But it’s not like she’s out there riding with me in the parade.”
