I was one of those poeple who voted for the ban on gay marriage but then I changed my mind after I realized I was just imposing my religious views on them and that freedom and equality are always more important than a belief system.
I can't believe I fell it but I know for sure that when they put a measure on the ballot in the fall to create a constitutional amendment that marriage is only for one man and one women, I will not vote for that again.
Freedom and equality are what I stand for now.
An enlightened person. It is good to see that there is such a person in the US. The state (and church) has no business in the bedrooms of the nation. Just watch out for the flak you are going to get from the backwoods (and backwards)republican dog diddlers that seem to hound this site. I expect some to come my way as well for agreeing with your stance.

to Shelly and the person agreeing with her. It's about time people stood up against those who would force themselves on others. Organized religion thinks they have the right to do so, and we need to start fighting back against the hatred by passing laws like California just did. It's nobody's business who another person chooses as a lifemate, and we need to let the dark ages hatemongers know this.
