The Republican House Leader is backing up a proposal for an amendment restricting marriage to that between a male and a female. He’s quoted as saying that marriage is a sacrament. Well if it is, then government has no business getting involved in religion to begin with. Say it how you will, the nation is full of homophobes and they will use flawed reasoning to justify passing something that is harmful and stupid. And they have no right to use religion. And I’m sitting here laughing that he used the word ‘sacrament’ to back up his reasoning.
At the same time, the fight for gay rights is far from over and this proves it. I can only hope that the proposal for the amendment dies down as quickly as it did the first time.
Why can’t we be like Canada?
