I heard a pretty decent argument regarding the 62% majority this morning- in past history, we've had a majority of citizens who believed slavery was okay (it was not), segregation was necessary (It was not), and interracial marriage should be illegal (It shouldn't be).
This country has always thrived on being forward-thinking. There will always come a time when ACTUAL morality wins out over racist/sexist/homophobic morality. Why delay this by 10, 20, 50 years? Get over your self-righteousness now.
In this country, it's legal to CHEAT on your spouse. It's legal for a woman to become pregnant by another man while married to her husband. It's legal for a couple to swap partners for the weekend and engage in hardcore BDSM while shuffling their kids off to grandma's house. Are any of these actions morally correct? Would 62% of Americans say so?
There are many valid arguments that show exactly how hypocritical folks can be when it comes to same-sex relationships. Amending our constitution to support prejudice is simply asinine.
