Roger Simon On Bush's Gary Gay Marriage Statements
Its pretty good. Basically my view is one of indifference. I don't think it is the government's business to be telling who can and cannot marry. I know others disagree (and with well reasoned arguments and not simple homophobia), and it isn't a hot button issue for me.
Read the comments as well, its a good discussion. Roger's final conclusion
...between the Republican's domestic policy and the Democrat's foreign policy we are in a helluva bind.
Yep. I'm not a big fan of Bush's domestic policies. But the foreign policy of the Democrats leaves me cold.
(Note to Robin: You're just jealous of Gary.)

Oh, and I think that there should be a federal ban on marrying Gary too.

What I believe should actually happen that would take the momentum out of the anti-gay backlash that is building, is that a constitutional amendment should be created to take this issue out of the hands of the courts. What people do not understand is that the bulk of the resentment is that the courts are shortcutting the democratic process. Gays need to win this issue at the ballot box.
