I suck

I fully support gay marriage, but I wish we could drop this issue right now. A majority of the public hates queers and not only wants them not to marry, but to get the heck off the tv. Speaking of off the TV, what ever happend to Cheney's lesbian daughter?

This election is close, though it shouldn't be (anyone running against Bush should be a shoe-in). The dems are the queer and minority party, and the repubs with their right-wing lovers are clearly the anti-faggotry party. If we push this issue now, not only will we lose as everyone tries to please the average right-wing voting Joe / Joan, but Bush will win. I'm fighting for gay marriage because it's too late not to, but I really fear what this will mean for the election.

I don't know why we don't just vote on issues that matter, at least to me. Environment, international relations, economy, deficit spending issues, interpretation of the constitution, cabinet members, political appointees...these are areas that make me desperate for 'not-Bush.'

Why does gay marriage matter? Here are 1049 reasons:
In 1997 they asked the CBO that same question, framed along the lines of "What are the legal benefits of marriage?" They found 1049: http://www.marriageequality.org/1049.pdf

The only things that seem to discourage people from amending the Constitution to prevent the right of gay marriage to be granted are:
Article V of the Constitution,
the history of Constitutional Amendments in the U.S.,
the various mechanisms for such Amendments (by Congress versus by the States),
some of the more relevant controversies (i.e. the historical efforts to bar any effort to "interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof"),
what it takes to amend the Constitution,
and maybe whether the current effort by Bush to restrict the definition of marriage (a domestic institution if ever there was one) would violate the law, would violate the political question doctrine, or would survive Judicial review, etc.
