Reply #16: What's love got to do....got to do with it? [View All]

I agree with Mr. Olbermann and I'm sure that people, gay or straight, who want to get married love each other (most of them)and all that.... I mean, duh!

But this is a CIVIL RIGHTS issue and is about LEGAL STATUS. The arguments against it are lame and where Gay Marriage has been made legal, none...zero... of the fears opponents wring their hands about have materialized. There's just no LEGAL basis for the ban, and calling it something else other than Marriage smacks of the immensely stupid "separate but equal" period of Jim Crow.

And like I say, I agree with the comment. But the thing that should be clear to everyone is that it is ILLEGAL under the US Constitution. And that deserves a ...DUH!

I guess if you can get the confused and brainwashed to realize that those "freaky gays" love each other just like they do, change the attitude, then more will accept it. But I find the legal arguments more powerful. They have nothing to do with ethereal, changing emotions.
