Republican Mayor of San Diego supports Gay Marriage

Surprisingly poignant.

"I have close family members and friends who are a member of the gay and lesbian community. Those folks include my daughter Lisa, as well as members of my personal staff.

"I want for them the same thing that we all want for our loved ones—for each of them to find a mate whom they love deeply and who loves them back; someone with whom they can grow old together and share life’s experiences.

"And I want their relationships to be protected equally under the law. In the end, I couldn’t look any of them in the face and tell them that their relationship—their very lives—were any less meaningful than the marriage I share with my wife Rana

2. A perfectly reasonable person would think this

What difference does it make to you, if your neighbors,whomever they may be, are married or not? What business is it of yours to tell them how to live their lives otherwise?

Who is harmed, except those that are not allowed to do as they wish with their lives, and who they can marry?

And why are someone else's religious beliefs allowed to be codified into law, to the detriment of so many that don't even belong to that particular sect or belief?

I just don't get it.
