The worst thing about this is that no one, fucking NO ONE, can come up with any demonstration of actual harm being caused by two people of the same sex being married.

It is prejudice and hate, pure and simple. There's nothing moral about any of it, because no one is trying to force anything on anyone else on the so-called 'Liberal' side of this issue. No one is trying to pass an amendment requiring other people to have gay sex or take a same-sex partner.

Gay marriage deprives no one of anything, except perhaps the Right's precious sense of being the only class of people who have anything to say about everything.

I believe that this issue has just cost GW the election.
Nail, hit, head.

But wait: it gets much worse:

Jerry Falwell Forms Anti-Gay Marriage Coalition

And this:

Homosexual Marriage Constitutional Amendment: U.S. Department of Faith Proposal to Amend United States Constitution to Conform to Biblical Principles Regarding Marriage

*shakes head*
