hillary clinton on gay marriage 2004
Bookmarked 542 weeks ago quoti believe marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman i have had occasion in my life to defend marriage to stand up for marriage to believe in the hard work and challenge of marriage so i take umbrage at anyone who might suggest that those of us who worry about amending the constitution are less committed to the sanctity of marriage or to the fundamental bedrock principle that it exists between a man and a woman going back into the midst of history as one of the founding foundational institutions of history and humanity and civilization and that its primary principal role during those millennia has been the raising and socializing of children for the society into which they are to become adultsquothillary clinton 2004 |
