Rather than use her power as Alaska’s chief executive to check the excess of the Alaska Supreme Court in their errant ruling in favor of homosexual rights, Governor Palin caved to pressure and vetoed a bill that affirmed the court’s aberrant decision and furthered the homosexual agenda in her state. Journalist Patrick Forgey noted the following in his December 31, 2006, article entitled “Juneau woman helped pioneer benefits law” which appeared in the Juneau Empire: “Gov. Sarah Palin, despite her opposition to equal benefits for gay and lesbian government employees, vetoed a bill passed in the special session designed to hinder the state’s ability to provide the benefits.”

She wrote about that in her book. My understanding of that is that she did this because she believed that it was unconstitutional for her to interfere with a supreme court ruling. She actually went against the pressure of her own party in this decision. She also mentioned the importance of “separation of powers” as outlined in the constitution.

“Palin’s support of teaching creationism in schools and her ties to conservative anti-gay groups like Family Research Council, make it unlikely she will be in support of pro-gay legislation.
Sarah Palin and the Federal Marriage Amendment:
In a Christian Broadcasting Network interview, Palin stated that she supports a federal amendment, such as the Federal Marriage Amendment, that would ban same-sex marriage nationwide. This view is in direct conflict with John McCain, who does not support gay marriage, but believes the issue should be left up to the individual states.”
