Bush’s audience at an Iowa fundraiser (notice they don’t let him out at the rallies, only the fundraisers) applauded when he declared that marriage is “a union between a man and a woman.” He added, “I believe it’s a sacred institution that is critical to the health of our society and the well-being of families, and it must be defended.”
