Linda McMahon on Civil Rights

Allow gays to openly serve in military, but do it cautiously

"I don't think we should have discrimination. My vote would be that we don't have 'Don't ask, don't tell.' But I think it ought to be implemented in a very cautious way," she said.

McMahon initially hedged when asked about the Defense of Marriage Act, a federal law signed by President Clinton that defines marriage as between a man and a woman. It also allows states to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states where they are legal, such as Connecticut. "I do think it's a state's right issue," she said. But when pressed, McMahon said, "I don't think there should be a federal law."
