That's My Bill!
Don't let the headline fool you. This front-page story's from May 23, 1996. I found it while housecleaning tonight [stop the presses!] and did a double-take.
Note that Clinton was "eager to squelch" the issue because it was an election year and he didn't want Dole to take him to task on homosexual marriage. It was obvious in May 1996 that the American public wanted the institution of one-man/one-woman marriage to be preserved. It's obvious today, too, according to polls—but my, how brazen the homosexual-marriage lobby has become in eight short years. For that, I blame popular culture's efforts to normalize homosexuality, as well as the failure of those who uphold traditional marriage to aggressively defend the institution from all the things that threaten it—from divorce and adultery on down.
