Gay Marriage

I feel fairly strongly that gays should be able to marry their significant other. Whether they can participate in the sacrament of marriage is something for the religious leaders to determine, but they certainly should have the same legal rights and privileges that heterosexuals do. To claim otherwise is to basically wish to be back in the days when it was illegal for people of different races to marry. Thankfully that was overturned, and now we are called on to continue the march for civil rights that started so long ago. California, thankfully, has decided to make it legal for gays to marry, which means that we have taken one more step on that march.

There are, of course, detractors who are not fans of gay marriage. One of my favorite blogs has written a nice piece in which the author has been kind enough to deliver a bit of a verbal bitch slap to Dinesh D'souza who has taken offense at the very idea that gays should have this right.

Read and enjoy.
