Has William Weld changed his position on gay marriage?

It looks that way, according to this missive put out by the New York State Democratic Committee:

Observers note that Bill Weld used to fight for legalization of gay marriage & even performed a homily at a gay marriage

But Weld, who now seeks the Conservative Party nod, says he'd now veto any bill legalizing gay marriage - Huh?

Weld also claims that his position on this has never changed.
You be the judge.

Here's a timeline put together by Democrats.

Here's the question, though: If Weld used to favor same-sex marriage, and now opposes it, does hit help him or hurt him? If it helps him get the Conseravative Party endorsement, it would appear to be a net plus in the electoral math department. Of course, it gives Democrats an interesting talking point.

MORE: Weld may be angling for Conservative Party support, but this item from Gun Legislation & Politics in New York has a different take, as State Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno is apparently set to back Weld. Bruno, apparently, thinks Weld's liberal policies will help Senate candidates in more liberal and moderate areas, and Gun Legislation writes:

This is the same philosophy that is the root cause of Republicans losing seats across the state for the last 10 years. They don’t have the conservative vote. Every time they pander to the left, it doesn’t get them any new votes from liberals, but it does alienate conservatives who withhold their money and votes from the Republicans.

The numbers seem to back this argument, looking at the last major statewide campaign between Republican U.S. Senate candidate Howard Mills (who?) and Democratic incumbent Sen. Chuck Schumer.
