I dont get this. The current administration is attempting to make an amendment to the Constitution of the United States that will ban gay marriage. I THOUGHT the Constitution was supposed to PROTECT freedoms, not LIMIT them. Are there any other amendments that limit freedoms?
I cannot, for the life of me, think of one secular reason why gays shouldnt be allowed to marry. Lets all remember now - our Forefathers designed our government to have a separation of church and state...so, tosssing out any preconvieved notions of what your religion says about gay marriage - can you provide any other reasons to outlaw it?
I love the excuse that the "sanctity of marriage" needs to be protected... The original anti-gay marriage bill was penned by a Christian who was FOUR TIMES divorced.....yup, marriage is DEFINITLY sanctimonious in his case....
So, why not allow them the same freedoms that you and I have?? Please, intelligent responses only - no homophobes please...
