There's a split
in John Edwards's household over same-sex marriage, but
he says his difference of opinion with wife Elizabeth hasn't
created any awkward moments.
''It's not the
only thing we disagree about,'' the Democratic
presidential candidate quipped Monday on The
Tonight Show With Jay Leno.
''She actually
says what she thinks,'' Edwards said.
Elizabeth Edwards
kicked off San Francisco's annual gay pride parade
Sunday by declaring her support for legalizing same-sex
marriage. ''I don't know why someone else's marriage
has anything to do with me,'' she said.
The former North
Carolina senator, sitting with his wife on Leno's couch,
said he was unaware of her position on same-sex marriage and
was surprised to learn about it while reading the
newspaper.
''A lot of people
I love and care about feel the same way Elizabeth
does,'' he said. ''I'm very strong about ending
discrimination against gay and lesbian couples. But
I'm not quite where Elizabeth is yet."
No leading
presidential candidate from either major political party has
publicly supported same-sex marriage. (AP)
