The opening of the Declaration of Independence written by Thomas Jefferson in 1776, states as follows:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
So why is gay "marriage" even an issue? Can you imagine if the Southern States would have been allowed to "vote" on the issues of slavery, or civil rights? It never would have passed. Since when does popular vote dictate civil rights? Discrimination should never be "amended" to the constitution, whether it is the State or United States Constitution.
I was reading an article on huffingtonpost.com yesterday (or the day before!), about the passing of Prop 8 in California, what a step backwards it is. One of the comments was to this effect, "If you people would call it something different, I would stop voting no."
Ummmmm...okay, what else should we call it?

It's so ridiculous. I feel like we've come so far and yet have so far to go.
It is so hard for me to understand how some people think. It's a slippery slope when you take rights away from people or deny them their civil rights. Where will it stop? Of course, they say it's a slippery slope to legalize gay marriage, because then people will want to marry animals. Have you heard this stupid argument before? I just want to say, "Hello, it's HUMAN rights, you Morons!"
I feel very strongly that anything consenting adults want to do should be legal. The only time it should become illegal is if it can hurt another person (i.e. driving drunk). Otherwise, it's no one's business! Period!
Hey you are one rightious babe ! I think we should marry ...... oh thats right we are married Miss you love you
