Veering to the Left
I don't want to turn this into a political/social blog, and I won't devote much space to this sort of thing, but...
You may not agree with me, and that's fine. You may feel that it's appropriate to legislate discrimination, but I do not. I'm hoping that you'll take a moment and view the anti-FMA (Federal Marriage Amendment) video here, and will follow through on making it clear to your legislators that you also would prefer to not legislate discrimination.
In my perfect world, the government would have no part of marriage--I believe that this is a religious union that has nothing to do with the U.S. government--but those of us who believe that the government should be in the business of supporting civil unions different from religious marriage fight a severe uphill battle. In any case, the FMA is a bad start (in my opinion).
If you disagree with me, feel free to post a differing opinion on your blog. If you agree, please take the time to view the video and get involved in defeating this unnecessary amendment. Thanks.
