The Democratic Party of Hawaii on Thursday (May 17) attacked Linda Lingle, the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, for not explaining where she stands on gay marriage.

In its press release, the party’s Chuck Freedman cites a recent Civil Beat article that says Lingle did not respond to inquiries on the issue.

Press release quote from Freedman:

Once again, Linda Lingle is siding with Mitt Romney and against Barack Obama and equal rights for all Americans. President Obama took a principled stand by endorsing gay marriage, but Lingle continues to hide the fact that she stands with Republicans like Mitt Romney against equal rights. Even worse, she is campaigning across the state next week with an ultra-right Republican Congressman (Tom Cole of Oklahoma) who is against women’s right to choose, wants to privatize Social Security and has a poor record on equal rights. Linda Lingle’s sending a clear message to Hawaii residents that once she gets to D.C., she’ll gladly stand with the most partisan Republicans and against President Obama.

Civil Beat has asked Lingle’s campaign whether they wish to respond. No word yet.
