Maybe I am misunderstanding him but are these views contradictory?



Perry backs a constitutional limit on marriage


Texas Gov. Rick Perry says he supports a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to a man and a woman, though just last week he said New York's gay marriage law is fine with him.

In an interview Saturday with The Associated Press, Perry said he supports federal limits on who can marry but also supports the right of states to decide whether gay couples can wed.

Perry says the theory of evolution has holes in it and that a creator, not an accident, is responsible for life.

Some conservatives are urging Perry to run for the Republican nomination for president. The Texas governor tells the AP he'll decide by Labor Day whether to make a bid — and that his campaign would be about jobs, not gay marriage or evolution.

Hopefully his campaign would be a short one.

What about my question though. If there is a constitutional limit on marriage to being a man and a woman would states have the right to then allow gays to marry or would the constitutional law prevent that?

It does seem like a contradiction. Unless he means that he has no problem with states marrying gays until he can get his constitutional amendment passed.
 
This is scary stuff. A candidate for President who believes in God as his creator and marriage is one man and one woman. Almost as scary as those founding fathers. Lord, help us.
 
I think a homo like Poet and some lesbian can marry one another anytime they want to....

How bigoted. "A homo like Poet". For your information..I'm already married, for the past 10 years, to a European man. I'm sure you and goat could marry in certain states. You should try that.

I've heard that, at times, homosexuality can be a pain in the ass. Is that true?

I'd guess there is a constitutional limit on marriage in the states he's looking for votes in and a provision for gay marriage in the states he's looking for votes in.

You can't beat a principled politician.
