Bush Wants to Maintain Definition of Marriage

MSN spotlights an AP story titled, Bush backs law to bar gay marriage. But what’s really being done is making sure that the current definition of marriage remains as it has since the beginning of recorded history. Webster defines marriage as, “The act of marrying, or the state of being married; legal union of a man and a woman for life, as husband and wife; wedlock; matrimony.”

So the healthy thing to remember is that homosexuals can still join together in a lifelong, permanent contract if they so choose, it just can’t be called “marriage” because that word already has a meaning. The term “union” has been used in legal proceedings in the past. This issue really doesn’t have to be as divisive as some groups are making it out to be.
