Sometimes it is important to speak the truth whether or not it is politically correct.

Oh I agree, but now it's not going to go well for the bill, so which is more important, actually having the same rights or being able to say one supports it?

Well, I agree with all of you, but this is where I am going to toss my two cents into this discussion....What are the chances, really, of having the same rights being enforced in all 50 states and the Commonwealth state of Puerto Rico regardless of Obama advocating for the bill?

Precisely, I know this state has a ban, so it won't matter as far as states rights goes, but step foot across the county line and voila SSM.

Yes, we've talked about this before....What I would like to see happen is that the SSM gives the benefits of marriage, and that it can't be rescinded(sic?) by anyone with a knot in their underwear....I.E. widows/widowers benefits, health insurance, etc...It can be emotionally uplifting to be recognized in a SSM, but I guess I want more than just the ceremony....
