The president strongly believes that marriage in this country ought to be between a man and a woman. He also believes it is something that ought to be decided by the people. He doesn't believe that judges ought to impose their will on the people.

No candidate can win a presidential race advocating gay marriage and opposing the military action in Iraq.

I didn't know that President Bush would endorse a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

President Bush has a record of cutting taxes has provided a prescription drug benefit for seniors has upheld the Second Amendment and remains committed to stopping liberal activists judges who are redefining marriage.

I'm knocking our pitiful pathetic lawmakers. And I thank God that President Bush has stated we need a Constitutional amendment that states that marriage is between a man and a woman.

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.

My parents were both from Scotland but had been resident in Lower Canada some time before their marriage which took place in Montreal and in that city I spent most of my life.

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.

I'd love to have First Lady Michelle Obama over and ask 'How do you make your marriage work?' I think the president is sexy as all get-out but he has got to get on her nerves some kind of way. He's this wonderful powerful man but she sees him leaving his socks on the floor.

I think it's unfortunate that there exists only one path in America to complete social legitimacy and that is marriage. I think for instance that it would be far easier for Americans to elect a black president or a female president than an unmarried president.
