i do believe that more americans support the right to gay marriage than any time in american history. however, when states vote on the issue either through legislatures or initiatives the vast majority are against same sex marriage.
Some of us have realized that loving our neighbors and treating others as we want to be treated means granting everybody an equal shake at the whole "marriage" business. Simultaneously, those same people recognize there are those who are angry that others might enjoy equality and would violently seek to oppress those of different beliefs. We see that the only way to stand against such oppression is by being our own defenders.
So yeah, not too surprising to see marriage equality and the right to self-defense come together. Delicious.
As usual you manage to be inflamatory and come to the incorrect conclusion.
Well, it's Kalifornia, so.. there's going to be a slant/bias, of course...
Government should stay out of the business of marriage, all of it. That means who marries who, or how many. Separation of church and state, and all that jazz.

Nor does typing as a form of speech, but we can read the words of the first amendment and understand them in the context of how they are meant to function. Considering the very men who wrote or were contemporaries of the constitution writers described the first amendment as establishing a wall of separation between church and state, is it really that much of a stretch to mention that?
