Jennifer Horn: Telling Us Exactly How She Feels

Jennifer Horn, January:
"I spent my whole life saying what I believe and why I believe it. Sometimes people agree with me, sometimes they don't, but I hope that in the end they respect the fact that I'm willing to tell you exactly how I feel," Horn said in an interview with Politico.

Horn described herself as a conservative Republican but said she is more moderate in supporting civil unions for same-sex couples and favoring "common-sense restrictions to protect kids from guns."

Jennifer Horn, August:
"I oppose gay marriage and would support a constitutional amendment defining marriage ... Civil unions are a culturally redefining issue and should have been put in the hands of the people through referendum."

Note also, from the second link, that Horn is a mirror match to Bradley in NH-01 - the only Republican candidate willing to enshrine discrimination into our Constitution, instead of deferring the issue to the states, like the others.

Be careful: Stephen's statement also (4.00 / 1)
supports amending the US Constitution:

Gay couples should be given the opportunity to enter into contractual arrangements as anyone. However, the federal government should not be forced to recognize civil unions that are attempts at marriage by another name.

We will soon see lawsuits demanding that married gay couples recognized by states also be recognized by the federal government - for example, in filing 1040 income tax forms or in getting Social Security benefits. The suits will say that DOMA is unconstitutional.

As I read that statement, Stephen supports amending the Constitution to prevent gay couples from winning such suits.
