marriage is great. it's not easy, but it's worth it.
although I do not see any difference between me being married (with a certificate) and two gay people simply
saying "we're married", however it's more of an equal rights issue isn't it?
honestly, I'm really not sure why sanctioned-bigotry is even
legal in Amerika today. most gay people I know will say that they didn't choose to be that way, and that they were born into it. my point is: this is not simply some behavioral issue that "requires" restriction by the law and it shouldn't be anybody's business but those that are involved.
although I have no personal stake in this issue, I have a lot of gay friends and I live in the middle of Amerika's bible-belt. ignorance is rife here, and it tends to get under my skin.
