Harold Ford Finds His Anti-Gay Past is the Darndest Thing
When Harold Ford was a Democratic congressman from Tennessee, he voted twice for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. Running for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee, he actively asserted his opposition to gay marriage: “I oppose gay marriage. This November, there’s a referendum on the Tennessee ballot to ban same-sex marriage — I am voting for it.”
But now Harold Ford is running for the U.S. Senate in New York State, and he’s singing a different tune, claiming that he’s all of a sudden really and truly for same-sex marriage. When he appeared before the Stonewall Democratic Club in New York City yesterday, activists held signs with one word on them: LIAR.
By golly, the past is the darndest thing.
