WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will renew a quest in his second
term for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage as
essential to a ``hopeful and decent'' society, his top political aide
said on Sunday.
Bush's call for a constitutional ban on gay marriages failed last year
in Congress, but his position was seen as a key factor motivating
Christian conservatives concerned about ``moral values'' to turn out in
large numbers and help supply Bush with a winning margin in last week's
election.

the ideal, and the ideal is that marriage ought to be, and should be, a
union of a man and a woman,'' Bush political aide
