I don't understand it.. IMO I don't see a problem with gay people getting married. I think it's just another form of discrimination but instead of by race it's discrimination by sexual preference.

If they can't get married then why not a civil union? Seems that was voted down in most places too. I think the problem is how our country is set up.

If you look at the big cities most voted for Kerry and don't have a issue with gay people. People in cities are naturally more progressive than those in the surrounding areas in the "heartland".

America is just like any other country but just much bigger than most. The cities have the biggest populations bases but the rural areas area spread far and wide. People in the rural areas are normally more religious, set in there ways and less likely to be open for change. This is the same in any county from what I can see. Just in America we seem to have a lot of them because the country is so big.

I bet if you went to Russia and traveled around out in the rural areas.. You would also find the people were less likely to accept change. However I'm sure if you go to Moscow the average person would be more progressive thinking.
