Why I surrport gay marriage!
I wanted to take a moment on my blog to share a small video on MSNBC by Keith Olbermann talking about Gay marriage and my outrage with the passage of Prop 8 in California.
I've long been a supporter of Gay marriage. I believe it to be the right of all citizens of this planet to be happy. I believe it to be the right of all citizens of this country to have equal rights under the law. I believe that discrimination and intolerance are the biggest problem we face as a society, both locally and internationally. I also believe that any law that takes rights away from citizens based on religious beliefs is wrong regardless of the separation of church and state.
It's difficult to speak about it without breaking down into accusations in anger. Without pointing fingers. Without blaming religion. Without judging people, exactly the behavior I wish, with all my heart, to discourage. Lucky for me, there are others in this world that can speak more eloquently on the subject. Please, for the sake of us all, watch this short video.

Preach it, brother!!!
I whole-heartedly, absolutely completely and fully agree with you in that I support gay marriage, too.
Why is it that the government is even involved in marriage? I mean, really? Isn't that a *personal* decision that affects only the people involved??
*sigh*
I know the message is important, but I cannot take that guy seriously with his fake "cry" voice.
