POSTED: 12:24 p.m. EDT July 3, 2003
WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush says a constitutional ban on gay marriage that's been proposed in the House may not be needed.
Bush told reporters Wednesday that lawyers are studying the ramifications of last week's Supreme Court ruling striking down state sodomy laws.
The president emphasized that he does support the "notion that marriage is between a man and a woman."
Supporters of a Federal Marriage Amendment to the Constitution say it's the only way to stop courts from requiring legalization of gay marriage.
But White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said it's unclear if the Supreme Court's sodomy ruling could be used to challenge the Defense of Marriage Act.
