Gay Marriage in Vermont

okay, this happened a while ago, but give me a break.

So Vermont is on the verge of allowing same-sex marriage. and as we all know, this will threaten marriage throughout the world, and will make us a modern day Sodom.

or so they say. really all that happens is that gay people get married. the usual argument against gay marriage comes from the bible, the whole thing about not lying with a man and such. but really, that's their only argument, and it sucks. these people want to deny a percent of the population the right to marriage because some archaic text said no gay sex. then they try to make it better by saying "well, civil unions are good enough, right?"

then the other major argument is that gay marriage "threatens traditional marriage."

wat.

how does that make any sense? the only marriages that will be affected are gay ones. straight people will still marry straight people. besides, tradition isn't always best. just because everybody used to own slaves and beat up black people doesn't mean we should do it now.

here's hoping the house and governor make the right decision.
