So there is an article in today's local paper (Germantown Gazette) about gay marriage. The governor recently said he will make sure it won't be legal in his tenure in the state...damn right wing asshole. I have yet to hear a valid reason why people are opposed to it. Things said in the article include:
*"The whole thing is, why should we impinge on society something that is only going to affect less than 1 percent of the population?" hello, woman, there are plenty groups in this country, for example mentally retarded people, that are that small and we have laws affecting them!
*"I think it would destroy our Judeo-Christian faith that this country was founded on...we have to as a legislature stand up to the radical homosexual agenda." ok, it's called 'Freedom of Religion' and it's in the constitution. Also, seriously, what agenda? Turn everyone in the country gay?! Please...
*about gay adoption: "I think it's morally wrong...To me it's so hard to understand why as a state we'd want to put a little baby in a home absent of a mother and a father" Duh! Should the children be shuffled from foster home to foster home? What about single straight people getting babies? What does it really matter if the baby is loved????
We have an openly gay delegate in the state and the end of the article was a quote from him: "other than for the gay couples who would benefit, there would be little difference between the day after same-sex marriage was allowed and the day before. We're still going to be stuck in traffic on the Beltway...Life will go on"
