Former presidential candidate Gary L. Bauer released the following statement Monday as Massachusetts began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples:
"Far from being a day of celebration, today's actions in Massachusetts are a dark day for America, for marriage and for the family. A fundamental institution that has served our nation and all civilizations so well throughout recorded history is being dramatically redefined by radical activists and their liberal allies on the courts.
"As a result, we will redouble our efforts to preserve traditional marriage and the family. I call upon President Bush and our elected representatives in Congress to take immediate action to right this wrong, rein in our rogue courts, and restore order stemming from this cultural chaos."
