(San Francisco, USA) - Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards, kicked off San Francisco's annual gay pride parade Sunday by splitting with her husband over support for legalized gay marriage. ``I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me,'' Mrs. Edwards said at a news conference before the parade started. ``I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage.'' ``John has been pretty clear about it, that he is very conflicted,'' she said. ``He has a deeply held belief against any form of discrimination, but that's up against his being raised in the 1950s in a rural southern town.'' No serious presidential candidate from either major political party has publicly supported gay marriage.
