- Story Text: The National Organization for Marriage and other conservative groups that oppose same-sex marriage rallied Thursday (June 19) at a national 'March for Marriage' in Washington.
Marchers say the rally brings together like-minded people from around the country who believe the United States should keep marriage defined as a union between a man and a woman.
Speaking to the crowd, former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum said "marriage between a man and women is best for raising children."
The march takes place as nationwide polls show support for same-sex marriage is on the rise. Same sex marriage is now legal in 19 states. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
