He also said, "If I were a member of the Texas Legislature, I would vote to repeal it."

Gubernatorial candidate George W. Bush on Friday promised he would veto any attempt by the Texas Legislature to remove from the state penal code a controversial statute outlawing homosexual sodomy.

Bush, a Republican, was asked about the sodomy statute shortly after speaking to the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Ladies Auxilary.

"I think it's a symbolic gesture of traditional values," he said.
