Kansan Race Tests Gay Marriage Stand in Tight Bids
In Kansas, Sen. Pat Roberts and Gov. Sam Brownback reaffirm support for a state constitutional ban on gay marriage while a court grants a marriage license to two women in Johnson County. Campaigns see gay marriage as a secondary issue to economy and jobs, with independent Greg Orman focusing on the economy and Democrats Paul Davis downplaying the topic. The ruling backdrop includes federal challenges by the ACLU and a U.S. Supreme Court action prompting approvals in other states, creating a mixed national landscape as Kansas voters approach November.
