Today I will vote in support of the Marriage Protection Amendment. I shall do so because like President Bush I strongly believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

I do not support a constitutional amendment to prohibit gay marriage.

Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue now supported by most Americans. Still a few people like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.

Mr. Speaker I rise today in support of the definition of a marriage as between one man and one woman.

I support allowing gay couples to marry because of - not in spite of - my values. And many of those values are the same ones deeply held by those who do not believe in gay marriage.

I rise today in support of Bill C-38 the Civil Marriage Act. I rise in support of a Canada in which liberties are safeguarded rights are protected and the people of this land are treated as equals under the law.

I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law.

There is no greater excitement than to support an intellectual wife and have her support you. Marriage is a partnership in which each inspires the other and brings fruition to both of you.

I support gay marriage. I support gay marriage because I believe Conservatives support the institutions of commitment.

I am much more open to plural marriage than I was before and I now support it in certain situations. I do believe it is right for some people. But our example in America today is gross abuse - I can't support it in fundamentalist compounds.
