The Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that gay marriage is a right. Hurrah for them! I don’t understand the argument (is there even an actual argument?) against gay marriage. It’ll be interesting to see what happens now. It disturbs me that there’s even talk of a constitutional amendment against gay marriage. That just makes no sense.
Naturally the President is horrified at the ruling: “Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman,” Bush said. “Today’s decision of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court violates this important principle.”
Ugh. Why is this wrong? Where does God say that two people who love each other is wrong? Does making gay marriage legal hurt you? Does it force you into a gay union? No. Let these people, people in loving, committed relationships get married. It’s not like they can do anything worse to marriage than what heterosexual people have done. Marriage is hardly treated as a “sacred institution” by everyone.
The day that the United States has a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage is the day that I start looking seriously into moving to another country.
