Speaking at a press conference this morning, Bush asserted, “The union of a man and woman is the most enduring human institution, honored and encouraged in all cultures and by every religious faith….Marriage cannot be severed from its cultural, religious and natural roots without weakening the good influence of society.”
Said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, Americans United executive director, “President Bush is just wrong. A growing number of religious groups perform marriages for same-sex couples. Bush’s proposal gives some religious traditions favored treatment.
“The Federal Marriage Amendment is a grave mistake,” Lynn continued. “The Constitution should protect the rights of all Americans; it should never be rewritten to take rights away.
“I do not want to see the legacy of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison revised by President Bush under pressure from Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell,” Lynn concluded."
You are so right Barry!!! Support AU.
