May 17, 2004 | TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- President Bush on Monday renewed his call for Congress to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages.
On the same day that Massachusetts began issuing licenses to gay couples, Bush said in a statement, "The sacred institution of marriage should not be redefined by a few activist judges."
In the statement, read aboard Air Force One by White House press secretary Scott McClellan while traveling to Topeka, Kan., Bush said that "all Americans have a right to be heard in this debate."
Noting that he had called on Congress some time ago to pass a constitutional amendment banning such marriages, Bush said "the need for that amendment is still urgent, and I renew that call today."
Try rereading that with "mixed-race" for gay. Exactly.
