Recently, I was in a debate with a progressive who tried to tell me that Ronald Reagan would have been an advocate for same-sex marriage. I decided to conduct a Google search and sure enough, it was full of articles where his daughter said that he would have “been puzzled” by the opposition to same-sex marriage.
Her statement is completely false, so I would like to set the record straight.
On July 12, 1984, Ronald Reagan said,
“Society has always regarded marital love as a sacred expression of the bond between a man and a woman. It is the means by which families are created and society itself is extended into the future. In the Judeo-Christian tradition it is the means by which husband and wife participate with God in the creation of a new human life. It is for these reasons, among others, that our society has always sought to protect this unique relationship. In part the erosion of these values has given way to a celebration of forms of expression most reject. We will resist the efforts of some to obtain government endorsement of homosexuality.”
This quote has been verified by the New York Times. He was clearly against it, end of discussion.
