Bush is right to call for an amendment banning homosexual marriage. He is not trying to take/keep rights from gays, he is trying to protect one of our most oldest, sacred, and fundamental traditions. All he is doing is asking for MARRIAGE to be defined as between man and woman. He is leaving it up for the states to vote on civil unions and legal arrangements granting homosexuals the rights they seek.
Quote:
But Bush also said state legislatures should be left to define "legal arrangements other than marriage," suggesting that such an amendment would do nothing to stop states from allowing civil unions for same-sex couples.
"Our government should respect every person and protect the institution of marriage," he said. "There is not a contradiction between these responsibilities."
