Apparently some Massachusetts lawmakers have decided that it's okay to take back civil rights, specifically the right for gay couples to marry in Massachusetts. An appalling 62 state legislators voted to advance a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage in Massachusetts. Where's the outrage? Where's the brave wannabe presidential candidate denouncing this atrocity? Anyone? Someone please, ferchrissakes. Where is Al Sharpton and his eager-to-march-for-justice legs? Where are the couples of the approximate 8,500 gay marriages that were performed in Massachusetts? That little certificate doesn't symbolize a thing if they're not willing to stand up for it!
Frankly, I don't understand this anti-gay obsession. And I'm surprised that the almighty dollar hasn't knocked these Republicans off of their moral high-horse. I don't know the cost of a marriage license, but for arguments sake let's put a price of $100 on it. That's $850,000 that Massachusetts made. This doesn't take into account the money made by florists, caterers, reception halls, etc. And of course the state and the government taxes all of these business on the money they made from gay marriages. That's not pocket change. And here I thought Republicans liked money more than Jesus.
So, what's next? Taking away the right of women to vote?
