I recently saw a blog post somewhere where the author posted photos of our history of bigotry and intolerance. In those photos you could see hate in the eyes of those who supported segregation and the suppression of rights. While the supporters of banning gay marriage usually speak from a position of faith and seldom have that visible hate in their eyes, I just don't see how it's any different in the desire for one group of people to CONTROL the rights of another group of people who are just looking to be treated equally.

Score one for Kim in the making-me-cry competition. Good work. Great article. This is the part that really got me:

“I keep hearing this term “re-defining” marriage. If this country hadn't re-defined marriage, black people still couldn't marry white people. Sixteen states had laws on the books which made that illegal in 1967. 1967.

The parents of the President-Elect of the United States couldn't have married in nearly one third of the states of the country their son grew up to lead.”
