What is Crist's position on gay marriage?

He is opposed to it, just like President Bush.

Right. /sarcasm

And what is his position on involuntary euthanasia? Pretty much the same?

TALLAHASSEE - Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist told a radio talk-show host on Friday that civil unions between gays are "fine." Crist, the front-runner for the Republican nomination, added that he has not decided whether Florida should lift its long-standing ban on allowing gays to adopt children. He hasn't yet "reached a conclusion," he told Miami radio talk-show host Jim DeFede. "Haven't taken a position yet," Crist told DeFede. "Not thought about it one way or the other?" DeFede asked. "Not extensively," Crist replied. "I haven't reached a conclusion, is what I said." Later on Friday, when asked to clarify his position, Crist backed away from his radio comments. He told the St. Petersburg Times that he does not support repealing the adoption ban. "My position is the traditional family is the best to adopt," Crist said. He called the two sets of statements a "nuance" and said that the issue of gay adoption "is not a major focus of my campaign." Crist's radio comments marked the second time in recent days that he has taken a position in opposition to the social conservative wing of the Republican Party. Last week, he said he supported legislation passed by Congress to expand embryonic stem cell research, and he disagreed with President Bush's decision to veto the stem cell bill.
