Support for same-sex marriage is growing in leaps and bounds must to the dismay of the right-wing conservative branch of the Republican party as well as the religious right. Just a few years ago, the very thought of same-sex marriage was nothing more than the punchline to a bad joke. But little by little over the past several years, people have begun to realize that gay people are just like everyone else. We want love in our lives; secure family life, and legal recognition of our personal choices. When once they laughed, now they agree.

This is always good to hear. Of course, in conservative PA where I live, the chances of this happening any time soon are slim.

Her change of heart, recounted by The Boston Globe, happened because
she came to see the gay men -- among the nearly 10,000 gay couples
who've wed in her state since 2004 -- as the neighbors eager to lend a
hand.

This part amuses me. The writer should have just come out and said, "And then, she realised that gays are actually real people, too."

Well actually Caleythia, her reasoning was even funnier than the portion I was able to clip. She was saying how these nice neighbours always help her with the mowing of her lawn. She said she was concerned that if same-sex marriage was made illegal again, these neighbours would be forced to move, and there would be no one to mow her lawn. Personally, I'll take it for now. Whatever reason people are changing their minds is okay with me for the most part.

Yep. It bothers me; but that doesn't do any good. More signs of a sick society moving towards self-destruction.

That being said, the snowball is rolling and there's no stopping it. Time for us *right-wingers* to read the hand writing on the wall and guard our values and our families. Wondering how long before we will be public enemy #1 and we're the ones who are a threat to society. Hmmm...I think that's already happening.
