An interesting veiwpoint

So I was reading an article on www.slate.com and I felt that it is relevant to the gay marriage topic.

I have personally never understood how someone else's marriage (a homosexual marriage) would ever impact the marriages of heterosexuals. This article explains that viewpoint in very clear, level headed prose (although it is from an admittedly "leftist" author who does not hide his leaning). Basically Sen. Edward's wife publicly stated her support of gay marriage in opposition to her husband's views and that statement was the impetus for the article.

Thanks for sharing this article. History will show the callous manner in which this issue was blatantly used stir up and turn out religiously conservative voters to get them to the polls to bolster Republican candidates.

It will be seen as a dark spot on America’s long record of inclusion, equality, and reason over superstition and ignorance.
