If we are to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever, our nation must enact a constitutional amendment to protect marriage in America.
-George W. Bush
Homosexual marriage is a hot topic among the religious right. Not only do they claim to object to homosexuality on religious grounds but opponents to same sex marriage also cite that the bible defines marriage as between a man and a women and that the main point of marriage is procreation. Furthermore, they claim that same sex marriage will undercut the conventional purposes of marriage. President Bush made a bold political move when he recommended that Congress pass an amendment to the Constitution(!) that will ban same-sex marriage in the United States.
In my opinion, the government has no business telling us who we can or cannot marry and should stay out of this debate.
