Charlie Crist reaffirmed his stance against same-sex marriage while appearing on CNN’s State of the Union, which aired Aug. 29.
“When it comes to marriage, I think it is a sacred institution, I believe it is between a man and a woman, but partners living together, you know, I don’t have a problem with it,” Crist said. “It’s just how I feel.”
Crist said he favors a “constitutional ban” on same-sex marriage, but then clarified his remarks in a release after the show aired.
“I was not discussing an amendment to the U.S. Constitution banning same-sex marriage, which I do not support, but rather reaffirming my position regarding Florida’s constitutional ban that I articulated while running for Governor,” Crist said.
