Statement by Howard Dean on the New York Court of Appeals Ruling on Same-Sex Marriage
>>"As Democrats, we believe that every American has a right to equal protection under the law and to live in dignity. And we must respect the right of every family to live in dignity with equal rights, responsibilities and protections under the law. "<<
Right. Everyone currently has the same access to marriage, though not everyone wants to exercise that access. So what? There is no good reason to change marriage for everyone - by court order - based on the whims of a tiny few.
>>"Today's decision by the New York Court of Appeals, which relies on outdated and bigoted notions about families, is deeply disappointing, but it does not end the effort to achieve this goal."<<
So Jesus is a bigot? Martin Luther King Jr. was a bigot? Pope John Paul II was a bigot? A court could call H2SO4 water, but it wouldn't make it water.
