Jeb Bush, a likely Republican presidential candidate, called for "respect" of same-sex marriages on Monday as his home state of Florida began allowing gays to wed following a court ruling.
Bush, a former governor of Florida, said in a statement that even those like him who oppose same-sex marriage must "respect the rule of law" now that the state's ban on gay marriages has been ruled unconstitutional.
By acknowledging legalized gay marriage in Florida -- though stopping short of outright supporting it -- Bush has struck a more conciliatory tone than many of the other Republicans eyeing presidential runs in 2016.

Who does he think he is... Charlie Baker?
200+ years ago Jeb would call for respect for the occupying British army....
He needs to run in the other party. I don’t know where Jeb went wrong, but he’s a disaster in the making.
A combination of beltway consultants and living in the wealthy bubble, and he has absolutely no grasp of the real world.
I’ve never stayed home on election day. This could be the one time.
Another Rino infatuated with homosexuals.
Take one home to lunch Jebbie!
Where was Bush’s RESPECT for Terry Schiavo whom
he enabled to die by lack of water?
Oh for crying out loud...
Sorry I find it difficult to respect marriage for a group of people where there is a 50/50 chance they might molest their or your own children. They’ll scream to high heaven that’s not the case but that’s pretty much the odds if a child of the same sex is left with them alone.
Here is the perfect name for GOPe so-called ‘leadership’: “Milquetoast”
From inconsequential ‘Reince’ Prebus, to crybaby pansy John Boehner, to Yurtle the turtle Mitch McConnell, to effeminate Lindsay Graham, and so on, the entire crew does not have as many balls combined as Nancy Pelosi does by herself.
Jeb has respect for “same sex marriages” but had none for Teri Schiavo’s life? I’m wondering about his moral compass.
The Bush dynasty wants ALL the brothers to eventually become the POTUS. Because POWER.
Stay out da’ bushes!
How do you respect sin?
Jeb gets busy for queer marriage but cowered in the face of the judicial murder of Terri Schiavo. Spit!
Respect? FU J Bush. You can make it ‘legal’ but you can’t force respect. I’ll never respect sodomy.
I hope Jeb Bush decides to run.
If he does decide to run, Jeb Bush has a real shot at beating Hillary and winning the Democrat nomination.
>SPIT!!<
Another one to not vote for...
I really wish we would stop using the term "legalized" for the actions of courts.
The LAW of Florida, in fact, the CONSTITUTION of Florida, forbids homosexuals enacting a marriage (with a person of the same sex).
What the court has done is to ENJOIN officials of the State of Florida from enforcing their own laws. No court can make this practice "legal", meaning "in accordance with the law", because courts cannot pass laws and cannot order legislatures to do so.
In this regard, the phrase "respect the rule of law" is particularly unfortunate, since the rule of law is exactly what is being attacked by the courts.
