Anti-Marriage Protection Week, Hurrah!

[pegkerr]

I don't have time to write a long post about this myself, but read John's post and read Aja's post and read Msscribe's post and do what they say. I have added Anti-Marriage Protection Week to my interests lists, and I'll be looking through the lists of suggestions for more things to do. Anyone have an icon for me?

I really REALLY loathe our President.

Lots of laws hurt lots of feelings. Should they all be changed because of that?

This law doesn't just "hurt feelings." It hurts PEOPLE. It hurts FAMILIES. There is no good reason to deny legal recognition to same-sex marriage. Period.

There's many good reasons for society to fail to give an imprimateur on many sorts of relationships. In this case, whether or not one likes it, it's quite clearly the wish of the majority that homosexual unions not be given the identical status of heterosexual marriages. Changing that, should be changeable, will be a matter of persuading people with far more effective agitprop than "it hurts PEOPLE," assuming it's possible to be done at all. At present, laws like DOMA can reliably be counted upon to pass with huge majorities, including the most reliable leftists to be found in the United States Senate.

I guess that's the President's fault, too.
