I think if he could get it through the senate he might be able to pass a nationwide ban. And, to me, that's a pretty sad thought.
But he, and pretty much everyone else in power, say they support a "civil union." this is basically, legally, the same thing as a marrige but the word marrige is not used and they don't have a marrige license. so really this is a fight about a word. Whether a gay couple is married or not has no effect on my day to day life and I could give a crap about it. But the fact remains that in America marrige is a failed institution and yet we insist on continuing it. If 50% of the cars we made broke down and stopped working one year after they were made, people would not buy cars until the problem was fixed. If 50% of all planes that took off crashed people would not fly. If 50% of the time you went to a club you ended up losing half of your possesions and net worth, you wouldn't be going to a club. If 50% of the time you asked someone a question they lied to you, you would stop asking that person a question. But over 50% of all marriges end in divorce and people still do it and somehow it still holds a high place in this society. Gays can do no more damage to marrige than has already been done to it. I am always worried when they start altering the consitution, especially when they do it to discriminate against any one group of people. I say they take a bold stance and ban marrige in general.
