Politics:
Kojo Nnamdi just had delegate Bob Marshall on his show talking about the Federal Marriage Amendment. I am appalled, as a voter in district 13, Bob Marshall has NEVER represented me. He is abhorrent to me in every way, and his stands on women being subservient and against same-sex unions are simply crimes against humanity. How is it possible that no one ever runs against Bob Marshall in district 13's elections? Every time I go to the polls there is only the one choice - so I typically write in "Sunny Chapman" (who pioneered women's rights) because there are no real oponents.

So, how does the marriage of two men, or two women, have any impact at all on my own marriage with my wife of 11 years?

No one has yet been able to tell me an answer to that. Bob Marshall ranted on Kojo's show for ten minutes about how allowing gay marriage would destroy marriage... but he never explained why or how. Frankly I assert that people who make that claim must not be in a very strong marriage themselves. Get over it folks. Some men love men, some women love women, it is all natural. Dolphins enjoy same sex play. Monkeys enjoy same sex play. So can homo sapiens. Get over it already, and spend your time (and my tax dollars) solving real problems - like fixing public transportation shortages (at the local level) and researching better fuels (at the national level).
