All I can say on that is, I can't you believe in the 21st century IN AMERICA people are telling others who they can and can't marry. I can't believe that people don't realize marriage and love are basic rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Why you would care who someone else marries or worships is beyond me. How could two people getting married effect you. I think this election should be won or lost on issues that affect all of us, all of our defense, all of our taxes, all of our health. Not on if two people who want to, get married. It seems laughable that that is even an issue.

I agree, it
seems laughable. But it really isn't. I'm not the type of person that can stand by and idly let an egregious wrong occur to someone else when it is in my power to stop it. If the government is stomping on the rights of ANY of its citizens, be them black, gay, christian, wiccan, atheist, old, young, stupid, or suffering from rectal prolapses, and I have the power to vote those responsible out of office, I'll go ahead and do it. True, gay marriage does not affect me personally. But, I won't put my vote behind a candidate who does not practice tolerance and understanding.
