Adam and Steve may now say, "I do" in California

Maybe I'm far too liberal for my own good, but I'd like to know what all the hoo-ra is about. If they want to get married, let them get married!

Here in the U.S., while oil prices continue to sky rocket and war rages on in Iraq and the world economy starts to slip into recession, Americans remain concerned about same-sex marriage. Are you serious?

But now California just lonely Massachusetts in legally recognizing same-sex marriage. Good for them. Welcome to the 21st century. And yet this appears to be a topic that rages on in Presidential debates and living rooms across America.

"But it degrades the sanctity of marriage," people mutter.

No idiots, divorce degrades the sanctity of marriage. And here in the U.S., there is a 50% divorce rates. So it's okay for folks to go out and get married, but God forbid the same be allowed for homosexuals.

Is that kinda like equal but different? Some states allow a ceremony called a "civil union". It's not marriage but allows some of the same benefits. Isn't that like saying you can still ride the bus, as long as you sit at the back?

Just a little something that's been running through my mind.
