Gov. Robert Bentley released a statement on the Supreme Court's decision to legalize same-sex marriage Friday, June 26.
He said he is disappointed in the decision and said he feels the Court disregarded the vote of the people of the state of Alabama.
Read the full statement below:
“I have always believed in the Biblical definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman. That definition has been deeply rooted in our society for thousands of years. Regardless of today’s ruling by the Supreme Court, I still believe in a one man and one woman definition of marriage. The people of Alabama also voted to define marriage as between a man and woman. I always respect the people’s vote, and I am disappointed that the Supreme Court has disregarded the choice made by the people of Alabama in its decision today.”
