George Stephanopoulos drilled New York Archbishop Cardinal Timothy Dolan on this week’s edition of “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” regarding his thoughts about this week’s Supreme Court hearings on gay marriage. Stephanopoulos also questioned Cardinal Dolan on how he thinks the Catholic Church has handled welcoming the LGBT community.
GaySocialites.com has obtained an advance copy of the transcript and here’s what Cardinal Dolan told ABC News:
Even though we might have to wait until June for the Supreme Court’s decision on the gay marriage cases they heard this week, Time Magazine has declared “Gay Marriage Already Won” with two covers of same sex couples kissing.
It’s day two of the same sex marriage battle at the US Supreme Court. On Wednesday, the highest court in the land will hear arguments that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional for same sex couples who are granted the right to marry in states that legally allow gay marriage.
If you can’t make it to Washington, D.C. to rally in support of gay marriage on Tuesday, the Human Rights Campaign is encouraging you to wear red to show your support for marriage equality.
An online campaign has also formed in which those urging the Supreme Court to overturn Proposition 8 and deem the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional are posting this red equal sign as their photo on Facebook.
It’s a big week for the gay marriage movement as the United States Supreme Court takes its first ever look at the issue.
On Tuesday, the first arguments will take place as the proponents of California’s Proposition 8 call on the court to deem the ballot measure unconstitutional. Then on Wednesday, the court will hear a separate case that challenges the Defense of Marriage Act.
