This line makes me not want to reply.
While I agree that the words I used were a little harsh, I still maintain that it portrays the truth of the matter. The gay marriage issue comes up during every election time, let it be local or federal. It is nothing more than to draw out the religious right to the voting booths. "Vote for us or them gays are going to take over... Don't pay attention to any other issue, just vote for us or them gays..." The bill has absolutely no chance of getting through. And even if it gets through, it is still a bullshit issue.
The facts that the politicians are using this for political gain and the religious right don't seem to catch on that they're being used by their own representatives justify why I referred to them as pawns.
But seriously, if the gay marriage issue is such a valid and important issue, why not push for the amendment more? Why only bring it up during election months? Why present a bill that has no chance to make it into the constitution? Why not make it more presentable so that it could actually have a chance?
I don't have to support gay rights to see through all the bullshit.
