I find it funny that these many of these so called "Protectors of Marriage" have gone thru several divorces or have been caught having affairs.
Personally I think they are afraid that gays will set the better example in regards to marriage (somethign Dolly Parton said a while back)

Rob and I have been together for 4 years and have been married for 2.

What I hate about the issue the most is the fact it's used to distract people from very serious problem that are affecting the country.

"Vote for the other guys and flag--burning, pot-smoking, gay-marrying people will ruin your life. Pay no attention to the crippling deficit, endless war, arbitrary executive power, and spiraling gas prices."

Personally, I am for the idea of Gay marriage or at least something that would allow for the same legal rights when it comes to children, hospitals, and job benefits.

I fear the arguement has gotten so divided (and bitter) on this and the immigration issue that the idea of "camps" may happen down the road.

I'm afraid that "down the road" is already here.

One of Halliburton's subsidiaries (what a surprise) recently received a contract worth nearly $400 million to construct huge "detention centers." Their purpose is unspecified -- most likely they will first be used to detain millions of "criminal" immigrants. After that...

We know how it starts. "First they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up..."

If politicians really wanted to help kids, they would allow gay couples to marry and adopt. Out of foster care and into a loving home. What could be better for a child?

But nooooooooo, the idiots in Washington (and everywhere else) can't allow that.

BTW: Polygamy is sanctioned by the bible, the same one these nut cases claim as their only reason for excluding gay couples from Marriage.... So much for slippery sloaps...
