Gay groups, however, are troubled by Palin, calling her anti-gay record "frightening."

Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation's largest gay rights group, posted a blog entry on their website critical of Palin's gay positions. HRC pointed to answers Palin provided to the Alaska Eagle Forum's 2006 gubernatorial questionnaire, where she said that she did not support hate crimes laws or spousal benefits for gay couples, and that one of her top family priorities would be "preserving the definition of 'marriage' as defined in our constitution." In 1998 the voters of Alaska passed a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in the state.
