It is amazing to me how many people in this country yell and scream about constitutional rights (thinking about gun rights, etc.), yet, have no understanding about the fact that the constitution within it's Bill of Rights is clear that voting has no effect upon our civil rights. It does not matter that a majority voted to make Prop 8 law in CA. We cannot vote to take away this right to any US citizen. Cornerstone of a democracy, here!!!

It looks like recent polls are picking-up on public opinion about same-sex marriage being OK with people across the US. There is a slight increase in these figures. That will serve us well in state to state legislation along the way, but even if most people in the US still were against it, it doesn't matter as a matter of inalienable rights under the US Constitution.

ARGH.. it makes me crazy that our own politicians don't get this! Our elected officials!!!
