I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. That's my view, and that'll be the view of our state because I wouldn't sign a bill that - like the one that was in New York.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.
There are more than 30 states, who either by statute or constitutional amendment, have defined marriage as being between a man and a woman.
I feel very deeply about the need to respect and tolerate people of different social - or sexual orientation. But at the same time, I believe marriage should be preserved as an institution for one man and one woman.
Like the majority of Alaskans, I supported a constitutional amendment in 1998 defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, but my thinking has evolved as America has witnessed a clear cultural shift.
I do believe that the states have the right to make the definition of marriage, and each state can define it as they so choose through their elected representatives.
Forty-five States, as the gentleman just said, have determined by people that were elected by the people of that State that marriage is the definition of one man and one woman.
Well, you know, I just - I believe marriage should between a man and a woman.
I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.
I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman, but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law.
I think that every state in the union should recognize same-sex marriage.
