Sen. John McCain -- despite supporting the military's "don't ask, don't tell" prohibition on openly gay servicemembers -- has been a staunch critic of a national amendment to ban same-sex unions.

On an Orlando radio station Sunday, McCain challenger J.D. Hayworth said that gay marriages, under Massachusetts law, could lead to "man on horse" unions.
