I'm glad both of my senators voted no but it was still way to close.
It is sad that we are still having problems with government sanctioned discrimination.
Two consenting adults should be able to love eachother freely. Just because people are different doesn't make them wrong.
If government officials really feel that marriage needs to be between a man and a woman based on relegious text then they need to remove marriage from the government completly. Let marriage be a religous thing only and there is nothing in the government relating to it no joint taxes ect.
Well correction there should be one law in the books that says no one can be discriminated agaisnt based on being or not being married that way private orginizations don't discriminate.
I'll be glad in 20 years when there is an amendment to the constitution that says gays deserve equal rights.
