Caroline
Kennedy Supports Marriage Equality

In her latest bid to gain support for replacing Hillary Clinton in the U.S. Senate, Caroline Kennedy took questions from Politico.com last week, seeking to put to rest criticism she lacks the necessary experience to take the New York seat.

In her brief answers -- submitted via her spokesperson -- Kennedy expressed support for same-sex marriage equality. President-elect Barack Obama, whom Kennedy endorsed early in the Democratic primary race, has said he support civil unions.

Kennedy kept each of her answers brief, saying that she "supports full equality and marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples." She said she also supports President Bush's approval of an auto bailout and opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning. (Advocate.com)
