WHAT IF THE MAJORITY TOLD YOU YOUR MARRIAGE IS VOIDED??!!

Sometimes, making laws by majority rule is plain wrong and hurtful. i cannot imagine the pain and suffering that married gay couples in maine and california must feel after being told that it is legal and right to marry and then to be told that your fellow citizens have changed their minds and have determined that you are not equal in their eyes and do not have the same rights and obligations as they do.

I have heard the arguments for denining gay people the right to marry, but we all know that these reasons are nothing short of ideas based on ignorance, hate, bigotry, or religious intolerance.

how i choose to show my devotion to the person i love is not and should never be up to others to decide. it is my god given right.

i watched the victory party of the "yes on 1" campaign and if i didn't know better- it seemed that they had won a mega-million lottery prize- instead of having just denied thousands of fellow citizens the same basic rights that they enjoy. they did not see these fellow citizens as being someone's brother, sister, uncle, niece, mother, father or even grandparent. they only saw them as sub-humans, as not worthy of equal rights.

What i have always proposed to begin to overcome this ignorance and hate is to publicly come out to family, friends, co-workers, and anybody within earshot so that next time someone calls out "fag" or demeans gays- someone will think-"wait, they are talking about someone i know" and hopefully stand up to the prejudgice.
