...about who marries whom?

I dont care who the guy down the street marries, be it guy or girl or houseplant. That some people want to prevent others from living their lives the way they want is simply insane.

I've got gay friends and if they want to get married, great go have fun and live a happy life.
I've got straight friends and if they want to get married, great.....
I'm friends with interracial couples and if they want to get married, great...

No one should get to prevent someone else from doing anything that doesnt hurt or affect them in any form or fashion simply because they dont like what they do or who they do it with.

The homophobes might want to get their house in order first before they start telling everyone else how to live their lives. And that most of this HATE comes from "christians" or other religious types is ridiculous. I dont recall Jesus or God being a mean homophobe, but then again I stopped going to church 20 years ago, so I dont know what they preach now.



Oh, and it's about damn time that it be allowed and included as part of the platform of any party that has "Progressive" ambitions.
