Don't Throw Stones

There is a good piece on the "defense of marriage" amendment written by Rick Esenberg. Mr. Esenberg also writes a column for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Anyway, in this piece he argues that it's the heated comments that make debate on this difficult.

I would suggest he is correct, but reasoned thought is not a province of the right only. And, tell that to the bible-thumpers.

I just want to add that adding discrimination to a document that lays out rights is obscene.

BTW: Gay people have been around for much more than twenty years and people of Abrahamic faiths have known of them. Times change. Also, sexual exclusivity is, I believe, part of what makes a marriage. Heteros have made a mess of that, though. It's that old glass house adage....
