Call me uneducated, but I had no idea there is so much hatred for same-sex-marriage in the States. I'm fairly disgusted right now, I'm gonna have to read up on this proposition 8, before I can make a comment less ignorant.
Oh. Yeah. It's really bad. It's not not legal because no one has gotten around to it. It's not legal because in at least half the country it would be political suicide for any politician to support it.
People forget the degree to which the early settlers here with religious conservatives who were prosecuted in their own countries. We carry that legacy loudly.
Yeah it's funny - in a very sad way - how people can forget. Probably why there are no issues here (Germany), forgetting is not something most people will allow to happen, or so I hope.
