    Saw this article on CNN today - things are moving towards equality and civil rights!

    I think we should all be allowed to marry the person we love. I still can't believe people 1) want to deny that from somebody and 2) care about who marries who. I could care less who marries. We allow 20 year olds to marry 70 year olds, people drunk in Vegas can get married, basically anybody should be ALLOWED to get married.

    If it's something you aren't ok with, fine, but don't tell others who they can and can't marry. Geez..it's 2010.

    Glad the poll numbers are better than last year!

    @lilyfaith: And hopefully by 2012 the numbers and the laws will be changed!  Planning a same-sex wedding in 2012 and we are holding onto the hope that it might be legal!

    I have this argument frequently with my fellow conservatives. I guess I am so conservative that I believe that it is none of anyones business, especially the goverments, what's going on in anyones bedroom. The government should just open it up and then stay the heck out of it. The government didn't tell me to fall in love with my FH, how can they tell my cousin she can't love/marry her girlfriend. But I am glad to see the numbers moving in the right direction.

    tksjewelry- I totally agree with what you said!

    Jenn23- I agree... Everytime this comes up, I just don't understand why people care who marries who, as long as they are consenting adults and it makes them happy, which is not for us to judge!

    My brother's reaction to the Proposition 8 fiasco was to be upset not only that Proposition 8 won, but that it was even up for a vote.  He said no one got to vote on whether he should be permitted to marry his wife, so why should they be allowed to vote on whether I should be permitted to marry mine.  And yes, he's Catholic.
