AP is reporting that John McCain is a guest on Ellen DeGeneres' talk show today. . .and during their conversation, they had an interesting exchange about their disagreement over Ellen's intention to marry:
WASHINGTON - Republican John McCain says same-sex couples should be allowed to enter into legal agreements for insurance and other purposes, but he opposes gay marriage and believes in "the unique status of marriage between and man and a woman."
"And I know that we have a respectful disagreement on that issue," the likely Republican presidential nominee said in an interview to air Thursday on "The Ellen DeGeneres show."
McCain, who also opposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban same-sex unions, said people should be encouraged to enter into legal agreements, particularly for insurance and other areas where decisions need to be made.
McCain said he's heard her "articulate that position in a very eloquent fashion. We just have a disagreement. And I, along with many, many others, wish you every happiness."
DeGeneres steered the conversation back toward the humor she's known for.
"So, you'll walk me down the aisle? Is that what you're saying?" she asked.
"Touche," McCain said.Ellen explains her position quite well.
