Same Sex Marriage

WTF
Wow! This is crazy. I have never seen so many people so scared before. What are you scared of? Same sex couples? Really? In Wisconsin the marriage amendment has passed. This was brought about in order to rally the conservative voting block for the governor race, however the democratic incumbant has still won. Now I'm not going to say that the Gov. is someone worthy of voting for, I actually voted against him. However, why would this be something that people would be brought to the polls by? The amendment does nothing other than write prejudice into the state constitution and prevent elderly couples and commonlaw couples from recieving benefits from their partners. The same sex couples could not marry under state law before in Wisconsin, so in effect the prejudice being exploited is nothing new. Everyone who voted for this amendment should take a good look at themselves and ask why they are so afraid.
