The Freedom To Marry

A moving video about the obstacles placed in the way of gay Americans who's only desire is to make an honorable commitment to spend the rest of their lives with the person they love:
To me the war against gay marriage is about denying a specific minority of people a basic human right, reminiscent of the racist anti-miscegenation laws in our nation's relatively recent past. Christianists and conservatives are pulling out all the stops here in California to try to change the law and take this right away from other free Americans this November. If passed, the ballot measure known as the California Marriage Protection Act would ostensibly be protecting marriage by not letting people get married; again, kind of like protecting our lunch counters and water fountains by denying their use to other Americans. I encourage all readers of this blog residing within the Golden State to vote "no" on this initiative come the fall; it's the human (and Christian, if I've understood Jesus correctly) thing to do.
