See, I think that the issue has been pushed way too far way too fast. I mean, in some parts of America it was illegal to be gay only a few short months ago, and now, we're already pushing for full gay marriage. I think we've gotta let the folks in Virginia and Texas catch up.

Here in Canada, homosexuality was legalized about 30 years ago and we're only just now getting to full equal access to marriage.

As much as we all might hate it, I think we've gotta allow the process to go slowly. I think the reason for the proposed constitutional amendment was the fact that people are still pretty uncomfortable with the idea of being on an even playing field with gay people, and Dubya saw his chance to distract people from the real issues facing the country. If we just had let people get used to the idea slowly, it would have been a no brainer in just a few years. If this amendment doesn't pass now, it probably never will.

However, it's a little late now... the gauntlet has been thrown down, and we're gonna have to organize and mobilize fast. I just wish we had a few more years before we had to do this.
