Shame on the Senate Judiciary Committee, who last week voted in favor of a constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriage. [Read story.] The amendment will now be sent to the full Senate floor, where a vote is scheduled for June 5.
These politicians want the government in your bedroom, but not in the boardroom. They want corporations to be able to pollute our air, endanger our health, and gouge our wallets with impunity. They'd rather focus on legislating what consenting adults can and cannot due in the privacy of their own bedrooms. They'd rather write discrimination into the U.S. Constitution.
Some of them say that allowing gays to marry would destroy the institution of marriage. However, if they feel that their own heterosexual marriages would be at risk if the lesbian couple down the street were allowed the same legal benefits, I think they'd be far better off by seeking some marriage counseling for themselves.
We heterosexuals have done a good enough job of destroying marriages on our own.
So what are they really afraid of?
