> This is incredible. I hate to say it but I’m really not shocked that people are so closed minded as to worry about same-sex marriage. How is it going to affect YOU? How will it influence your day to day life? Oh, right, it won’t. If you aren’t a part of the solution, you’re a part of the problem. There’s this thing called, “progress.” You think this is bad why exactly? I don’t understand how some people base their views on religious texts but… are not religious? WAT. Every single person has a right to be happy and unoppressed, THAT is what our country was founded on. There is also a right to oppose tyranny. How is interfering with one’s right to be happy not tyrannical? “Hey, let’s oppose something that literally won’t affect the vast, striking majority!”

I agree with the majority of your post but calling this decision “progress” is where I disagree. Not that this new law is a step backwards but I certainly wouldn’t call it progress.
