You've officially joined the ranks of the states that have legalized discrimination.

I've never understood the whole "gays shouldn't be allowed to marry" stance.  If you hate gay people so much, why not just come out and say so?  Because realistically, there is no other reason to ban gay marriage other than not liking gay people.  "Sanctity of marriage?"  Does anybody even believe that, or is it just another lie you have to tell yourselves to help you sleep at night?  "If we allow gay marriage, soon people will be marrying children/sheep/all sorts of other things!"  Really?  Gay marriage is between two consenting adults - the same is not true of children/animals/inanimate objects/anything else you try to bring up as a canard.  "I believe marriage is between one man and one woman?"  Your personal beliefs should not be law, by virtue of the fact that they're personal beliefs - in other words, they're what you believe (and you have the right to believe whatever you want in this country), not what makes a sound, binding law.

Let's be realistic here, shall we?  The anti-gay-marriage position doesn't stand up to even basic scrutiny, and it crumbles like a bad cake under the most basic of questioning.  How is it still allowed to go on?  Because people want to enforce their beliefs on others?  I thought the Bill of Rights was supposed to protect against that.  Apparently it doesn't apply to some areas of our society, huh?  I guess some people really are more equal than others.

I hope you're proud of yourselves.  Me, I just see one more reason to weep for my country.
