I could care less if two gays get married. It doesn't really affect me. One of my older brothers is gay. Do I love him less? No. Does it bother me that he is gay? No Do I think it's morally wrong to be gay? No. If he wants to get married to another man, would I protest? No! I have more important things to worry about.

The exportation of jobs pisses me off too, as well as my company's habit of importing workers to do jobs that they could have found a domestic worker to do.

What makes this an important issue is the suggestion that a Constitutional Amendment is needed to prohibit such a union when in fact, states should be encouraged to settle the issue just as the issue of interracial marriages was settled in the early 50's for the most part. Oh yeah, a constitutional amendment was required to bring the last 19 states in line. The amendment that has been proposed does not specify anything about gay marriages. In fact, the way the proposed amendment is written it would hamper the court system in it's mandate to rule whether or not a law is unconstitutional. If this amendment had been in place prior to 1948, interracial marriages would probably still be in place as the California Supreme Court would not have been allowed to rule the California law against interracial marriage unconstitutional.

Wait, has anyone other than me READ the proposed amendment?
