Republican state sen. John Carona’s comments on gay rights stir controversy


New polls show nearly 70% of Texans support some form of legal partnership.

State Sen. John Carona’s take on gay rights

— While state Sen. John Carona's comments on his "evolving" attitude toward certain gay rights' issues have garnered plenty of negative attention from conservative groups, the latest University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll shows the Republican lawmaker's views are consistent with changing attitudes among many Texans.

Carona issued a statement in response to our request for an interview about his comments and the poll data: "Consistent with my voting record, I do not support gay marriage. This is my view, and I believe it reflects the view of an overwhelming majority of voters in Senate District 16."
