A friend of mine said this on another forum, so I'm going to borrow it because she said it so eloquently.

Quote - No matter how against it you are for religious or moral reasons, it does not affect you, so continue to oppose it all you want, but don't stop loving, committed people for being who they are and having the same rights as everyone else.

Being gay or straight isn't a choice - it's just who people are.

With that said, I'm glad to see that some of the US states are stepping into the 21st Century! What goes on between consenting adults is their own business and they should have the right to marry whomever they wish.

If Jim and John down the hall from me get married, it's of no consequence to me. It doesn't affect my life at all, so why should I feel angry or upset that they want to marry one another because they are both men?

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
