Quote:
Very quickly, the UCP released a long explanation in the form of an interview with Kenney, dealing both with the AIDS issue and his opposition to pro-abortion activism at his Jesuit school, the University of San Francisco.
“To be clear, contrary to the attacks of my political opponents, my opposition to the domestic partners ordinance when I was a teenager in the 1980s was not based on a desire to limit partners from visiting their loved ones in hospitals, but over concerns about the legal implication for the definition of marriage.
“At exactly that time, I was volunteering at San Francisco’s Gift of Love AIDS Hospice and I am quite sure there was no restriction on intimate partners, or anyone else, visiting their loved ones there.
“It would never have occurred to me to oppose such a thing.”

Soooo he still hasn’t apologized?
Literally all he has to do is say, with some degree of humility, “sorry, I was young and dumb. I truly regret it and hope the people who were impacted can find it in their hearts to forgive me” and this whole line of attack evaporates.
The longer he goes without doing that, the more oxygen he provides for the fire.
