This is a must watch:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beEh6jBM8CE

especially for those of you on the fence on this issue.

freedom and equality for all americans, it's that simple.

Philip Spooner, an 86-year-old D-Day veteran who spoke at a Maine Judiciary Committee meeting in favor of gay marriage.

Since when do Republicans care about fairness and equality? And besides if we allow gays to marry it will be a direct threat to my marriage

Come on now, we all know what happened in Vermont and Massachusetts when they legalized it. Wait a minute. What did happen? Nevermind.

I dont have a problem with Gay people, and, I dont care what they do. I think of it as less competition...

Let them get married.

It is so simple. Reps and Dems don't care one way or the other about this issue or that. It all boils down to 1 simple thing. WIIFM. Reps care about gays gettng married because the church cares. The church sponsors them and therefore, if they refuse to "care", money might stop flowing. Dems care about the gay marriage issue because the groups that cares, sponsor them and if they stopped caring, that money might soon dry up. It is that simple.

Yes, it has nothing to do with civil rights under our Constitution or human rights in general.

Not sure if you are being facetious or sarcastic but that is pretty much it. People, in general, say much, believe in few of the things they say and execute even fewer of what they say.

They are less competition whether theyare married or not so who cares.

I know it because I am originally from San Francisco and lived there most of my life.,


I think it might have been Alice B Toklas that said "I don't care what you do, so long as you don't do it in the street and frighten the horses".

But Alice is not running the religions of the world. Religion cares what you do everywhere. Remember, (insert deity here) is omnipotent. Hell, even Santa knows all. See carol below. Religion cares if you don't do your part and add to the herd and thus add to the sad cult.

You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good

So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town

To quote my devout Catholic uncle who is 85, small business owner for 50 years and WWII vet: "Let 'em all get married, what do I care?"

And to quote a much younger, single, semi-retired, female corporate pilot (i.e. Me):
"Let 'em all get married, what do I care?"

In other words - My thoughts exactly.
