In reply to the discussion: NJ Gov. Christie vetoes gay marriage bill as vowed [View all]Missy Vixen

I'm straight. I've been married for eighteen years. If you listened to the pre-vote debate in our Legislature, there are multiple Republicans in the House that believe OUR marriage isn't valid, because we chose to not have children.
If you think this fight is just gay people, you need to rethink. It's all of us. Every adult that chooses to live a life different than the Republicans is under attack.
And, yeah, I'm pretty sick of reading the fat bigotry here, too. I'm very thankful I don't have to deal with them IRL.
