And I am proud that the committment of marriage is being granted to our gay and lesbian citizens.

It is they who are confirming the committment and institution of marriage. While so many str8s are destroying it

And for those who say marriage is for procreation, well, my son and his GF will get married later this year, no questions asked, no problem, despite their pledge of no children.

And for the people so opposed, they fit into a couple of groups.

1. People who just don’t understand that the world changes. Women are no longer the property of their husband, eg as in some Islamic countries. Inter-racial marriage was banned in much of the USA until about 1967, and people were outraged when those laws were thrown out. T his is just another change.

2. Religious people who are led by people who, once they have a position refuse to change it. For if their religion isn’t absolutist, then what is faith – it collapses. And faiths like that should collapse. Again, some of Islam is absolutist, as is parts of Christianity, and even Judaism. And it was absolutism that brought is 9/11 and Afghanistan.

3. And the people who didn’t yet learn from WWII, and 50 million deaths. American Christian Evangelical extremists are directly behind the monstrosity of the Genocide bill for gays in Uganda.

All in the name of their God of course.
