He's not saying that Gays should be able to get married, though. He's saying that they should be able to have the same rights as married couples if the states choose to approve it. The difference is that while granting rights to homosexuals, it does not make homosexual couples the same as heterosexual couples and so does infringe on the rights of those who view homosexuality as wrong. The biggest threat of gay marriage, and the major reason that the gay lobby is pushing so hard for it, is that once Gays are considered the same as heterosexuals, it would be only one more step to declaring any teaching against homosexual behavior to be a hate crime.

I am very disappointed to hear this. I am sure Bush will lose some voters over this. I know a registered democrat at work who is voting for Bush because he is against gay marriage and civil unions while Kerry is for civil unions. I have no idea why Bush is doing interviews now. If every one hears this than Bush on longer has all the social conservatives locked up.

Civil unions should not be allowed period, it is a security risk to survival of the United States. Civil Unions are a perversion of our system of laws that are based on the principals of justice. The spirit of the law is to promote lives that are healthy and happy, not to promote self-destructive behavior.

In addition, I will repeat that civil unions are a security risk to the United States. I say this, because to go against the spirit of the law is to sellout. And when one sells out on principal, then evil enemies are encouraged because they know we have weakened ourselves from a character point of view, and that makes them smell blood. And we know how blood thirsty the enemy is.

The biggest threat of "civl unions" and homosexual "marriage" is their adoption of children.
