What the president and other conservatives are trying to say is that marraige is a union of a man and a woman. he isn't trying to limit partner benifits to m/w, simply trying to establish that the term marraige has limited applications. the fact of the matter is the president is correct. The majority of American's claim to be christians, and that religion clearly teaches that god established the marraige bond between a man and a woman. Now, that may or may not be the proper way to view things( I actually agree with that and follow the Bible... let the roasting begin...), and our culture really does reflect the teachings of that book, wether or not you want to accept that.
