Dan Malloy, Mayor of Stamford and pro same-sex “marriage” extremist, won the Democratic Party’s endorsement for governor. Pro-family Democrats voting in the August primary and the November election should know that their party’s endorsed candidate considers them “cynical” and “ignorant”:

Mayor Malloy opined that opposition to gay rights was based on a mix of political cynicism and ignorance.

Mayor Malloy said this at a gathering of pro same-sex “marriage” activists. The speakers included East Haven’s Rep. Michael Lawlor and Stamford’s own Sen. Andrew McDonald, the two men most responsible for legalizing same-sex unions—and both are Malloy supporters.

According to the Oct. 6, 2005 Fairfield County Weekly, Malloy took a “hands on” approach to the legalization of same-sex unions:

And Stamford’s Mayor Dan Malloy, who is a registered Justice of the Peace, was planning to be on hand to perform ceremonies at Stamford City Hall himself.

But when it comes to attacking the institution of marriage, personally performing same-sex civil unions is just the beginning for Dan Malloy. Here is an excerpt from an interview with Malloy in the Sept. 12, 2005 Connecticut Law Tribune:

Connecticut Law Tribune: If you are elected governor and the Legislature puts a bill legalizing gay marriage on your desk, will you sign it?
Malloy: Yes.
CLT: No hesitation.
M: No.

Neither Mayor Malloy nor the media spotlighted his extreme pro same-sex “marriage” position during the convention, of course. His support for forcing Catholic hospitals to provide chemical abortions did not get much play, either.

But Mayor Malloy’s positions should be made clear to pro-family voters. If he is elected governor, it will mean further attacks on marriage, religious freedom and the sanctity of human life.
