President Bush proclaimed October 12-18 "Marriage Protection Week."
From The Advocate website:
Endorsing a campaign by such anti-gay groups as the Southern Baptist Convention, the American Family Association, and the Christian Coalition, President Bush on Friday proclaimed October 12-18 "Marriage Protection Week." As part of their coordinated effort, far right groups are using the week to distribute anti-gay church bulletins to over 70,000 churches. In addition, Christian radio shows will schedule programming all week on banning same-sex marriages. The groups hope to make the debate over same-sex marriage--along with the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment--the number 1 social issue in the 2004 general election.
In his proclamation, Bush said, "Marriage is a sacred institution, and its protection is essential to the continued strength of our society. Marriage Protection Week provides an opportunity to focus our efforts on preserving the sanctity of marriage and on building strong and healthy marriages in America."
He continued, "Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and my administration is working to support the institution of marriage by helping couples build successful marriages and be good parents."
