Sound Bites on Same-Sex Marriage
Compiled by Hugo Salinas, February-March 2004
 |
"We
didn't have to discuss getting married at City Hall, we just did
it. It wasn't about the politics, or the civil disobedience,
or the social activism... It was about our love
for each other and our love for our
family.” --Returned Missionary Eric Ethington
|
"Allowing gay
and lesbian couples to marry, I'm pleased to say, will
not impact the sanctity of my marriage. Any married couple which
thinks that legalizing gay marriage will hurt
their relationship needs a marriage
counselor.” --U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo.
|
 |
 |
"What would happen if we legalized
marriage for gays? Well, probably
nothing more than a bunch of gays getting
married.” --Salt Lake Tribune columnist Robert Kirby
|
| "This is an actual
marriage license. It looks the same
as any other marriage license. This may confer more benefits,
and if not, since the Utah Legislature
seems bound and determined to pass more
laws that we will never recognize same-sex
marriage here,
at least it makes a statement.”
--Utah resident Jane Marquardt, after marrying her partner Tami
in San Francisco |
 |
 |
"I'm not a pedophile. I'm not
a pervert. I'm human, created by
God, just like all of you, with a
loving, giving heart. I'm not the only lesbian you know. [Utah] Senate
Bill 24 is more about politics than
people.” --State Rep. Jackie
Biskupski, D-Salt Lake |
| "I can only hope
that Congress and the Supreme Court will again guarantee
a minority the rights which America's majority refuses to confer.
In the meantime, I applaud the charity which
individual states (like Vermont) have begun to demonstrate in
guaranteeing the civil rights of
gays and lesbians.” --Mormon historian D. Michael Quinn
