So...if the voters are going to be stupid, then they get what they deserve.
Gay marriage, to me, is such a minor part of the issue, much like flag burning. Honestly, the only time I've seen the flag burned was by Middle Eastern protesters...once the TV cameras were turned on. Americans so rarely burn flags, it's one of the most unviolated laws in the country. However, the mere mention of the subject stirs strong emotions to the easily-angered. That more folks break the law of having sex with dead animals than burn flags is of no consequence to these people. What the whole "protection of marriage" issue is certainly aimed at gays, to a degree. The REAL benefit to these marriage definition laws is to allow insurance companies yet ANOTHER way to screw over their customers. Common-law marriage has been a time-honored tradition, and a way for non-married couples to help pass on benefits. If that goes away, a lot of same-sex couples will finally either have to get married or simply do without. I'm wondering if there's more common-law marriages than there would be gay marriages...if so, then we see that the insurance companies are simply loving this turn of events.
