Howard Dean on the New York State Court of Appeals decision that gay marriage is not a right under the New York constitution - "Today's decision by the New York Court of Appeals, which relies on outdated and bigoted notions about families, is deeply disappointing, but it does not end the effort to achieve this goal."
Howard Dean reiterating the 2004 Democrat party platform on gay marriage - "marriage is between a man and a woman."
Actually that's not fair because he misstated the correct position which says "the party is committed to full inclusion of gay and lesbian families in the life of our nation and leaves the issue to the states to decide." Well, the state of New York did exactly what the platform calls for and Dean's still outraged. How about a little intellectual honesty here - support legislation to push gay marriage rights through Congress.
