Well, that's one way to rile the vote...

lagilmanWASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — President Bush said today he supported a constitutional
amendment banning gay marriage, declaring that such a measure was the only
way to protect the status of marriage between man and woman, which he called
"the most fundamental institution of civilization."
In an announcement fraught with social, legal and political implications,
Mr. Bush urged Congress to act on the amendment quickly and send it on to
the state legislatures. Quick action is essential, he said, to bring clarity
to the law and protect husband-and-wife marriages from a few "activist judges."

How DARE he? In this world of fear and hate and violence, how DARE he say
that any loving relationship of two committed people should be illegal?
Shut him down. Tell him no. Tell him to get his personal morality the
hell out of other peoples' lives.
If he thinks heterosexual marriage can be threatened by other people having
the same rights, there's something wrong with his perception of marriage...
The Constitution was meant to PROTECT, not discriminate. Remind him of
this.
It's not a question of "gay's rights" here anymore. Because, as the world learned in an earlier generation, if you don't stop them when they come for others, who will be left to stop them when they come for your rights?
