"It is incomprehensible to me that federal legislation would be needed to provide a definition of two terms that for thousands of years have been perfectly clear and unquestioned," "That we have arrived at a point where the Congress ... must actually reaffirm in the statute books something as simple as the definition of 'marriage' and 'spouse' is almost beyond my grasp," he said. His 1996 act declared marriage a legal union between husband and wife -- "and that a spouse is a husband or wife of the opposite sex," "To insist that male-male or female-female relationships must have the same status as the marriage relationship is more than unwise, it is patently absurd," he further stated. "If same-sex marriage is accepted, the announcement will be official: America will have said that children do not need a mother and a father, two mothers or two fathers will be just as good. "This would be a catastrophe," "I say to my colleagues, let us take our stand. The time is now. The subject is relevant. Let us defend the oldest institution, the institution of marriage between male and female, as set forth in the Holy Bible."
