From KIRO TV, Seattle:
Speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” [Senate Majority Leader Bill] Frist says he’s concerned that legalizing gay sex could lead to such activities as prostitution and drug use being allowed “in this zone of privacy.”
The Tennessee Republican says he would “absolutely” support a constitutional amendment that would ban any marriage in the United States except a union of a man and a woman. Such an amendment has been introduced in the House.

The Federal Marriage Amendment violates states’ rights, as well as the ability of tolerant churches and synagogues, to set their own policies on marriage. Visit the American Civil Liberties Union or the Human Rights Campaign for more information.
