how this amendment would protect my marriage? Particularly since there is no threat to my marriage to begin with. I've had gay friends all my life, and they in fact support my marriage the way I support their relationships. (I think I can count more divorces among my straight friends than split-ups in relationships among my gay friends.) Before we amend the Constitution of the United States, someone needs to make it very clear to me how my gay friends somehow threaten my very excellent and stable marriage (20 years in May) and how making my gay friends' long-standing relationships inferior to my long-standing relationship will somehow miraculously make my marriage divorce-proof.... or something? I never can grasp the logic on this huge steaming pile of horseshit. And somehow it's because my gay friends and I do different things sexually, is that what this pile is about? That's what it boils down to, right? The right wing is rounding up people based solely on what they do with their genitalia and making them second-class citizens. Tell me I'm wrong.
