Sarah Palin: pro-gay diva?
This is not what you’d expect from a social conservative:
Palin’s first veto was used to block legislation that would have barred the state from granting benefits to the partners of gay state employees. In effect, her veto granted State of Alaska benefits to same-sex couples. The veto occurred after Palin consulted with Alaska’s attorney general on the constitutionality of the legislation.
Also, she acknowledges having gay friends, something Republican politicians rarely acknowledge.
