This is useless. Look at you people. If you just knew the caliber and number of bills that are being passed daily to take away your freedoms. And now they show this bill and all of you smile like good sheep.
Same sex marriage approved... OH wow! Big deal. If you just knew...

Have to applaud after all there's nothing wrong with gay marriage as long as both parties are consenting adults

Maybe now they will make it legal for me to marry my sister.

Sigh... Not to those who feel validated by it. With that said, I respectfully understand your cynicism and agree that the magnitude of our stripped liberties can't begin to compare to the small gains; on that point you get no argument from me but you need to celebrate the small victories when you can or else EVERYTHING will be doom and gloom all the time.

It is no victory. Face the reality. You are just along the ride. They decide what gets passed. And how it plays into their hands.

What a completely ignorant thing to say. False equivalency strikes again!
BTW, there were religious exemptions written into the bill. It was added via amendment before the bill passed.
Thanks for not being a "homophobe." I am so glad you tolerate them living together. Phew.

And then all your dreams will finally come true! Just kidding!
Seriously, how is a gay person marrying another gay person affecting your life? It isn't and I don't know how many times I've read on various message boards and on talk radio - "Soon they'll be passing laws to marry siblings, kids, animals, etc." Do you realize how offensive that is to a gay person? I'm sure you don't care but I'm guessing a gay person would find it pretty offensive!
I can't wait for the day when all 50 states legalize this so we can move forward. It's not something our country should even be debating at this point, it's ridiculous.

Again, you give too little credit. We're all along for the ride, my friend, because we have no choice. With that, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
