Originally posted by AppleOnYa: JGeoff and plawrence...great responses from both of you! I'm disappointed though, that amongst all the 'direct quotes' neither of you included the final sentence of the article:
"If it were possible for previous generations of Americans to know about this marriage controversy, they'd probably be embarrassed and shocked, and might ask, "What in the hell has happened to America?"
Times change.
Previous generations might have the same comment when they found out that slavery had been abolished and women now have the right to vote.
The embarrassment, to my way of thinking, is not that people of the same sex wish to marry.
The embarrassment is that the President of The Unite States has proposed that we have a constitutional ammendment to prohibit it.
