“At 93, I never thought we would have to debate the definition of
marriage,” Reb Graham said in the ads.
“The Bible is clear: God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a
woman.”
On the other side, former president Bill Clinton and his ex-chief of staff,
Erskine Bowles, a North Carolina native, recorded telephone messages to
voters urging them to oppose the measure. In a statement, President Barack
Obama’s campaign also opposed the amendment.
“The passage of Amendment One is a profound injustice. Singling out a
class of citizens for discriminatory treatment is unfair, unlawful and
violates basic American values,” said Adam Umhoefer with the American
Foundation for Equal Rights, a leading US
group supporting gay marriage, after the vote.
