Let the people vote? All the people – where the votes cannot be bought? They continue to reject it. Tonite, North Carolina residents just passed an Amendment to their Constitution that legally declares that Marriage is the union of one man and one woman. That would be 31 States that have enacted such an amendment. That would be a majority of the States, if my math is still correct.
“Oh, that’s because it’s full of bigots in that Bible Belt state – those Conservative backward looking, knuckle dragging, rednecks that don’t get with the inevitable” will be the excuse.
Really? How did the vote in uber-blue (Liberal / Progressive) California’s Prop 8 go for you? Remember, 31 States disagree as well. But, that still won’t prevent some people from uttering absolute hate speech when the vote goes against their own political views.
“It’s an embarrassment and it’s pathetic, and I’m ashamed to have to come out here and vote on something like this, and, if the polls are right, I’m ashamed that apparently a large majority of the citizens of my state are pro-bigotry,” he said.
