This is NOT a moral issue - We are talking about people no different from anybody else, wanting the same rights as everybody else This is NOT a religious issue - We are talking about LEGAL rights here, not whether they will go to your heaven or to your "purgatory" This is NOT about whether it is okay for a particular group of people to use the term "marriage" because you feel it is sacred to you/your religion - Marriage is celebrated in many different religions, and even by people who hold no religion Denying gay people the right to marry is the same as when there were laws denying interracial couples the right to get married. Part of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, provides that "no state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." (known as the Equal Protection Clause). I am ashamed that our state, OUR COUNTRY is breaking it's very own laws laid down in our Constitution. This is NOT right, and it needs to end. If you don't agree with gay marriage, then by all means do not attend the ceremony. Otherwise, butt out of business that does NOT affect you.

People do not have the right to vote on the basic rights of others. I am sorry but who is John to say who Jane can marry? It never should have been put to the voters in the first place. It is unconstitutional to allow people to vote on something that does not impact their lives but allows their religious views, personal views, and prejudice to rule. If it was left up to voters blacks would still be picking cotton at the end of a whip, women would still be nothing more then a piece of property that was only as good as the healthy male sons she could produce, and only the rich white men of this country would have any true rights at all.
