Rick Santorum meets with gay-marriage foes in Washington state

"I told them to keep up the fight, that this is an important issue for our families; it is an important issue for religious liberty," the former Pennsylvania senator said of his meeting with church leaders, during a news conference Monday afternoon.

"We have a serious issue about trying to get moms and dads to marry and stay together," he said.

"I don’t see this as encouraging that. I think that at least from my perspective it tends to water down marriage instead of encouraging men and women to form healthy marriages, and that to me should be the objective of the government because that is in the best interests of our society."

Santorum lashed out at gay-marriage backers for insulting those who feel differently, taking exception to a recent 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that struck down California’s ban on same-sex marriage.
