And now U.S. Representative Marilyn Musgrave from Colorado is on the forefront of legislators trying to introduce a Constitutional amendment that will ban same-sex marriage.

Here is my question: Since when did we amend the Constitution, a document set out to protect the rights of our citizens, to deny rights to a certain group? Are we really going to institutionalize bigotry? I know we're not, but the suggestion that some segment of population including our jackass president think it's a great idea is scary as hell.

People of intelligence understand that there is not a snowflake's chance in hell of amending the Constitution on this issue. It's just insane pandering to the base of the right wing Republican party. And the "defense of marriage" is such a joke. Maybe if Bush and the GOP ass holes want to defend marriage they should deal with straight folks (like me) first who can't seem to get it right. I'd be awful curious to see what the divorce rate is amongst same sex couples some time like ten years from now. I'd bet good money that a far greater percentage of the gay couple that married on Valentine's Day in SF are together than their straight counterparts.

So last night Marilyn "Manson" Musgrave was on Larry King debating Gavin Newsome which is like a village idiot duking it out with Winston Churchill. Newsome sounds reasonable and is letting the courts decide the issue. Meanwhile Musgrave kept saying things like, well if you're going to open up marriage to same-sex couples, why not polygamists or three people who decide to get married, as if there thousands of menage a trois betrothals in the offing.

Thank you, Colorado.

This is a fucked up state.
