I live in Massachusetts, and I don't understand why anybody cares if I marry a man or a woman - they don't even know me, and won't be invited to the wedding!

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts, or the U.S. Supreme Court, or any other for that matter, has to protect minorities.

I just don't think the majority should vote on the rights of a minority. Gays marrying does not affect anyone else, except the couple and their friends/family. My goodness, no one would even KNOW about it, unless you're at the wedding! I don't know how that would affect straight marriages??!

Anyway, we've seen in Massachusetts that no one seems to care after we got the right to marry for gays, so why keep harping on it, trying to get a vote? People should be more concerned about the war in Iraq, or the Russians, or the economy, or whatever.

I won't vote on your rights, if you don't vote on mine.

Just let em marry already. This is where I come down on the other side (vs my doctor post).

Now other people are preventing gays' happiness to do in their own homes what they deem happiness.

As long as you are banging a sane adult willing human. Its none of my business.

Leave them alone, let them marry. Why does anybody care what two consenting adults do with their love lives?

Trust me, marriage ain't all it's cracked up to be......

Heck let them marry in as many states as they like, but don't allow them to divorce. That'll teach them a lesson.

Religious nut.
