They've done it in Tennessee, California, LA, and a few other states. Somehow people's opinions are considered more important than human rights. See, when black people were getting screwed, it didn't matter that about half the U.S. citizens thought they should not have the same rights. The government still stepped in and fixed the damn situation. This situation is more about the Bible and so people are pissing all over each other to ban same sex marriage.

I can't wait until this issue is finally over and I can hear the damn NOM's say: Wow, this storm really isn't so bad... more of a cool breeze really. They didn't break into my house and force me to marry a man/goat after all. Guess there really wasn't much to fear at all.

Ah well that won't happen, but at least gay marriage will be legal everywhere (though it has been here for years, Gogo Massachusetts.
