Senator and presidential contender John Kerry Tells MTV News
Senator and presidential contender John Kerry weighed in on the ongoing gay-marriage debate, saying that he believes that sexual orientation is a matter of genetics, not choice, and that both gay and straight people should be accorded equal rights under the law.
"I think it's entirely who you are from birth, personally," Kerry told MTV News recently. "Some people might choose, but I think that it's who you are. I think people need to be able to be who they are.
"I have a friend who was married for many years and then the marriage dissolved and he came out and he announced that he was gay, and he lived this life of tension, and of great difficulty. And I don't think that's a kind of choice. I think that's being who you are. It's in your system. It's in your genes ... I think that people have a right in America to be who they are, who they are born as, and we are all God's children, and that is my view."

This guy is just saying it for the gay vote, nd that is my view.
The fact he has bought religion into the fray yet again is going to ensure that his comments end up backfiring on him, the religious crazies are not going to vote for him come election time now.
Its a shame too i actully think this guy could have the potential to be a pretty decent president.
