It would appear that president Bush’s position on a constitutional amendment to define and protect marriage has drawn criticism from both sides of the controversy. In an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer Mr. Bush said that he would support a constitutional definition of marriage, however the president went on to say that any arrangement recognized at the state level is equally acceptable. Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council says, “This sounds as though the administration would support civil unions which are counterfeits of the institution of marriage. The president’s remarks also undermine state legislators, who are fighting to protect the institution of marriage in states like Massachusetts.” On the other side homosexual activists are complaining that the president’s support of a marriage amendment threatens their efforts.
