McCain backs Calif. gay marriage ban
The sponsors of a ballot initiative that seeks to ban same-sex marriage in California say Republican presidential candidate John McCain has endorsed the measure.
The ProtectMarriage.com campaign says it received an e-mail from McCain Thursday in which the Arizona senator expressed his support for the group's efforts "to recognize marriage as a unique institution between a man and a woman."
McCain has previously said that while he does not back banning same-sex marriage at the federal level, he thinks it is appropriate for states to do so.
In 2006, he came out in favor of a ballot measure, ultimately rejected by voters in his home state, that would have banned gay marriage and prohibited granting any spousal rights to unmarried couples in Arizona.
