Meh, the concept of "marriage" can be considered religious by Bush, if he likes it that way, but it makes no difference either way - if its a religious concept, the separation of church and state should prevent any government benefits from reaching married couples. Otherwise it would mean that the government is giving bonuses to people of their own religion!
Since those who get married indeed get tangible benefits, it is a contradiction of the religious nature of marriage, and Bush has no right to deny some couples what other couples get for free. I don't care if they call it marriage or not, but a man and a woman, two men, or two women are still couples by definition.
Damn, we need some young people in Congress...
