(let me start off by saying that I favor gay marriage)
looking through things from your side, though--Bush has made a fatal error; he has come out and said that he supports civil unions. even if this amendment got passed, it will get repealed down the line. by allowing unite via civil union, you open up the question of separate but equal..."well civil union is just like marriage..." "then why can't it be called marriage too."
both of these candidates are showing election year fear...Bush is afraid to come out and say I am against gay civil union...Kerry is too afraid to say that he is...anyway this whole debate will blow over...we will find some rogue nation of evidoers and we will kill their children and steal their oil in God's name and for the flag...
