Evelyn Mettling raised her hand. "Where do you stand on same-sex marriages?" she asked softly.

More laughter.

Moran smiled broadly, then turned serious. "We are considering ... the Senate is considering a constitutional amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman," he said looking around the room.

More applause.

"That makes a lot of sense," Moran said.

More applause.

He said the issue came up when he was a state senator. "I voted to define marriage that way in Kansas, and the concern we must have today is that a court may determine that marriage in Massachusetts is the law of the land and Kansas would have to recognize that marriage in our state," he said.

But some of Jerry's biggest supporters - including those in his hometown - don't understand his stance against gay, lesbian and bisexual people. Many of Jerry's supporters have gay friends and family members, employ gay people in their businesses, and sell their products and services to gay people all over the country - not just in Kansas. Even more shocking, some of Jerry's supporters - and friends - are gay.

What's wrong with this picture? How can a popular politician create the perception that he is "independently minded" when his Congressional voting record is extremely conservative? More importantly, why do all of his supporters allow him the luxury of this double standard?

It's time to challenge Representative Moran. Let's look at his voting record on every issue, not just civil rights. Compare it to his public statements and personal relationships. Otherwise, he'll continue this game all the way into the U.S. Senate.
