It still amazes me that after all the time this issue has been in the public spotlight I've yet to hear one single compelling argument as to why gay marriage shouldn't be made legal. Not one single reason that doesn't boil down to "I don't like it" or its "gross". Its like the opposition isn't even trying build a case. Usually with any issue both sides can put together compelling arguments, you might disagree but at the very least they have something to work with, here you have nothing.

Its really something else that this issue has been around for so long considering how little the opposition has given us to work with. Really what are we actually debating about at this point? The right not to be creeped out by others?

This issue is going to make for some REALLY confused history students in about 100 years.
