It simply needs to be clarified. It also needs to be clarified that it is an “opinion,” not a “lie” to claim that Rudy and Fred “aren’t far apart” on the issue.

If you believe Rudy's statement, I don't but a supporter would,

Mayor Giuliani believes marriage is between one man and one woman. Domestic partnerships are the appropriate way to ensure that people are treated fairly, In this specific case the law states same sex civil unions are the equivalent of marriage and recognizes same sex unions from outside states. This goes too far and Mayor Giuliani does not support it.

there is very little difference in their positions. Marriage is between a man and a woman, civil unions are an issue for the states, and outside states shouldn't be forced to recognize them.

Technically, he complained because the state recognized civil unions FROM other states, not that the state was pushing it TO other states.

Certainly a pure states-rights position would allow a state to decide to recognize civil unions from other states.
