You can say what you want and blame it on the "Religous Right", but personally I am in the Religous Middle. I don't approve of homosexuality and I think that it is a moral sin. Thats my belief and that won't change. Having said that, I think that the Marriage Amendment isn't about banning same sex marriages, I think its about keeping things in control. I know you Libertarians out there will say that the fed govt needs to keep their nose out of it and that its a state issue. Well, its not. If I get married in Virginia, that marriage is recognized in the entire US. If a gay couple gets married in Mass, then that marriage would be recognized in the entire usa even though the majority of the people in my state voted against gay marriage. does that seen right to the states that do not want gay marriage? I understand that this country was founded on the belief that there should be no discrimination and I do agree. However, there are certain institutions that need to be preserved and I feel that marriage is one of those. If the state of Utah passed laws saying that poligamy is OK, then would the other states have to recognize a Utah marriage? This is where the delima occurs. Its is gay marriage, but it is also polygamy.

And to answer one of the above posts, I was not comparing gay marriage to beastiality, I was just pointing out where a few people could bastardize this whole thing and blow it out of proportion.

I think that I agree with some people and say that an ammendment to the constitution isn't something that we need, but I would also say that my state shouldn't have to recognize a gay marriage, if the state votes not to.
