| Description | A recent report from Tennessee's Chattanooga Times Free Press appeared to indicate Sen. Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican, now supports same-sex marriage. That’s not the case, though, according to a Sessions spokesman.
The aide contacted The Advocate on Tuesday to affirm that the senator’s position on the legal definition of marriage has not changed — in other words, marriage should be legally defined as a union between a man and a woman, according to the 66-year-old senator from Selma.
“I think people are free to marry any way they want to,” Sessions said last week outside the Senate chamber, according to Sunday’s Free Press story. “But churches are free to set standards for marriage." |
