Kevin Scott on Civil Rights

Tolerant traditionalist: keep one-man-one-woman marriage

On values: I view myself as a "tolerant traditionalist." I believe that God should remain in our Pledge of Allegiance and that marriage should be between one man and one woman. It's the way it has always been, the institution I was raised to believe in, and it shouldn't be changed without the consent of the people. Common-sense tells me that some relationships warrant access to reciprocal benefits, while assertively protecting cultural norms. Source: Press Kit, "On the Issues" Jun 5, 2006
