"BOSTON The Massachusetts attorney general who fought legalizing gay marriage now says he's in favor of some same-sex unions.
Thomas Reilly says he'll vote against a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage if it qualifies for a vote next year.
Reilly is an unannounced Democratic candidate for governor.
He tells The Boston Globe today that 'once rights are given, they should not be taken away.'"
Let's not dissect how people were given these "rights." Let's just accept the fact that they were given them and go on from there. We won't worry about the fact that government cannot "give" anybody any right, it can only acknowledge and protect a right. I suppose if the government accidentally gave his paycheck to someone else, he wouldn't attempt to get it back, since "the deed had already been done." I feel very comforted knowing this guy is our state's chief prosecuter. Then, we can't take much of what he says seriously. He is running for governor.
