I support equal marriage rights for two willing people, regardless of gender. I think it is a travesty that we allow some to marry and others not to. Essentially, it comes down to whether or not you believe people are created gay or choose to be gay. If you're not convinced, please befriend more gay people. We all have a lot in common; it just takes getting to know each other. We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
I've collected three videos that poignantly highlight the issue.
First, the serious (Keith Olbermann goes on what I characterize as a mercy-diatribe):
Second, the funny (Princeton students ban Freshman from walking on sidewalk - a creative way to point out the silliness of it all and what an obstruction of justice it is):
And finally, a discussion (Mike Huckabee & John Stewart talk about same-sex marriage on the Daily Show):
Jon Stewart: [Referring to Huckabee's argument that we're redefining the word "marriage" even though it used to mean slaves couldn't marry, interracial marriages were banned and polygamy is now outlawed]
"Semantics is cold comfort for humanity."
