Amend the Constitution for this? Are Nearly 50% of us really that ignorant?

WASHINGTON (The Blaze/AP) — Barbara Von Aspern loves her daughter, “thinks the world” of the person her daughter intends to marry and believes the pair should have the same legal rights as anyone else. It pains her, but Von Aspern is going to skip their wedding. Her daughter, Von Aspern explains, is marrying another woman.

“We love them to death, and we love them without being judgmental,” the 62-year-old Chandler, Ariz., retiree said. “But the actual marriage I cannot agree with.”

It’s complicated, this question of legitimizing gay marriage. Americans are grappling with it from their homes to the halls of government in the shadow of a presidential election next year. The ambivalence is reflected in a new poll that shows the nation is passionate, conflicted and narrowly split on same-sex marriage.

Yes.

Well, I think it's just a religious thing. People are brought up to play God and stick their noses in other people's business. It's human nature. But we need to keep fighting against things like this!

Thankfully, it will take two thirds of their representatives and three fourths of the states to make that happen.

The government is the new church and should take over all decision once reserved for a man and his God.

Oh, and this is a bitchin' wedge issue of no consequence to the banks, unions, or military contractors.
