Found at Warren’s first, though I would have come across this this afternoon, anyway:

Bush Shuns Calls to Legalize Gay Marriage

WASHINGTON – President Bush said Wednesday he has government lawyers working on a law that would define marriage as a union between a woman and a man, casting aside calls to legalize gay marriages.

“I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and I believe we ought to codify that one way or the other and we have lawyers looking at the best way to do that,” the president said a wide-ranging news conference at the White House Rose Garden.

Bush also urged, however, that America remain a “welcoming country” — not polarized on the issue of homosexuality.

“I am mindful that we’re all sinners and I caution those who may try to take a speck out of the neighbor’s eye when they got a log in their own,” the president said. “I think it is important for our society to respect each individual, to welcome those with good hearts.”

I don’t really care where you come down on the issue itself, but let’s be completely honest here: does this sound like something you really, really want legislators and/or lawyers (like me!) deciding for you?

Also: if someone could explain that last quote from the Prez above for me, I’d surely appreciate it. I understand that those are all English words, but they don’t really mean anything when they’re put in that order — a common problem, I’ve found, in trying to figure out the current Administration.
