Same-Sex Marriages *Should* Be Allowed
Being from the Midwest (and big and dumb-looking besides), most folks assume I'm a homophobic. As it turns out, I've known a few homosexuals in my life, but not very many. Or rather, I suspect that I know a lot more of them then I recognize, but I never think about it. I never think about it because it doesn't matter.
Real love is rare enough that people should be able to love and live and *marry* whoever the hell they want to and I resent a government that thinks that they get to decide who's love counts and who's love doesn't count (although I do support parents being able to decide whether their minor children should be able to marry).
BTW, you can save yourself the trouble of responding if you're going to say anything other than "+1", as I won't be responding to any kind of negative comments on this issue. There is literally nothing you can say to change my mind, so don't even try.
