Jun. 6th, 2006 07:17 amI SUPPORT A CONSTITUTIONAL BAN ON GAY MARRIAGE! Of course I do. You see, whites are all across the country doing and saying racist or race-related things, and deny that there was, is, or will be problems with race. The statistics are complex, and it's easy to look at tv and pretend it's all gone away. However, it's hard to ignore the laws of this country, which are recorded along with judicial decisions. Some of the history of racism is engraved into our legal records.
Gays have been nearly invisible until the last couple of decades. So, the entire country is confused about many issues, but pretty together with their feelings of hatred to mild discomfort with gays / lesbians / bi / trans / people who admit they like sex / etc. If we don't get this ban on gay marriage, then in 50 years when straight people are trying to pretend there never was, is, or will be homophobia, it'll be there in print just like prohibition. When people try to say "Yeah but that Will-Grace show was on tv, so you can hardly argue that there was prejudice" you could just point to the constitution and call BS.
