Russ Feingold (news, bio, voting record), a potential presidential candidate, said Tuesday he supports giving gays and lesbians the right to marry, again positioning himself to the left of possible 2008 rivals.<BR/>ADVERTISEMENT<BR/><BR/>"Gay and lesbian people in our country are fighting a mean-spirited movement to harm them and to discriminate against them," Feingold, D-Wis., said in a telephone interview. "I stand with them against that movement, and I'm proud to stand with them."<BR/><BR/>Feingold said he decided to express his support for gay marriage in response to a Wisconsin constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage and civil unions, which will appear on the state ballot in November.LNewsEditorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15516265929045096334noreply@blogger.com
