President Bush Comments on Texas Sodomy Law Decision and Defence of Marriage

Washington, July 4, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – So far, President Bush has been a great disappointment to social conservatives on the issue of protecting the institutions of marriage and the family and traditional American moral culture from powerful advocates of the homosexual agenda. At a July 2 White House press conference the following brief exchange took place between a reporter and the president:  QUESTION: Mr. President, do you support, or do you oppose a federal constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a union between a man and a woman?  THE PRESIDENT: I don’t know if it’s necessary yet. Let’s let the lawyers look at the full ramifications of the recent Supreme Court hearing. What I do support is the notion that marriage is between a man and a woman. (from White House website)  The Washington Post quotes various Republican sources who say that while the Bush Administration is very concerned about alienating the GOP’s conservative base, it has also been taking steps to appeal to the homosexual vote. A homosexual newspaper in Texas reports that the administration has appointed about 20 openly homosexual officials to government positions.
