Doesn't the US constitution guarantee freedom, equality, human rights, all that? In which case, why is this proposition even on the ballot? What next, a proposition on giving women the vote, or letting black people sit at the front of the bus? There is absolutely no justification for preventing two committed, consenting, non-related adults from marrying. If you don't want a gay marriage, don't have one. Fine. See if I care. But what earthly point is there in denying others the same right? Ugh. How unutterably depressing. Doesn’t the US constitution guarantee freedom, equality, human rights, all that?
