Ah yes, when Americans were feared a fictional man, the good ol' days.

I will continue living my life as before, but I will be happy for the people I know that are gay, and I will enjoy the collective sounds of thousands of bigots crying their tears of self righteousness.

What will you do? My life won't actually change, but there seems to be so much "crazy" opposition that I'm wondering what will you do.

Will you move to a different state? Different country? Campaign against gay marriage even more? Home-school your kids? Become Amish?

Do tell...
We can vote in politicians who mirror our views and do something about it. However what will you do if it's upheld?

I'll get up, eat some breakfast and do my thing same as every other day. Gay marriage has been legal here for years. It changed NOTHING noticable in society.

Yeah, I hate to say it, but I'll be more excited about the ensuing hysteria of the anti-SSM camp than I will about equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.

On many fronts, we certainly have an interesting year ahead of us (and hopefully a good one for same-sex couples).

I wish people like you would stop with the accusations that are indefensable and plain stupid. Either put up some proof or shut the hell up. It's off topic and meant to be offensive. Knock it off.

I'll have a nice ghlass of Sherry and thank God there is still a little spark of hope in a darkening World.
