NEW YORK (AP) _ Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg distanced himself from his party's position on same-sex marriage less than a week after the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision to overturn a Texas anti-sodomy law.

"I have always thought that people should be allowed to go about their business themselves," Bloomberg said at a news conference. "I don't know why any of these platforms should deal with issues like that."

Bloomberg's comments come a year before New York hosts the Republican National Convention. The party's platform at the 2000 convention strongly supported a "traditional definition of 'marriage' as the legal union of one man and one woman," and is endorsed by President Bush.
