How does that make you feel?

It's disappointing to say the least.
How does it make me feel? It makes me feel like exactly what I clearly AM----a second class citizen (& a pretty annoyed one at that!! LOL). I'm actually in Florida on vacation this week but as soon as I heard the news (by text from Allegra back home in Rochester) about the vote & the result I took the time to call my Senator on the phone and let him know what I thought about the way he voted and his clear and utter lack of respect for me, my partner, our family & our community.
Gay marriage is always a bad idea .
The antithesis of " marriage " is always divorce . Divorce should be a hetro phenomena . What justification is there for gay divorce ?
if people are psychosocially and emotionally " short yellow bus " , ( retarded ), they have no business cohabitation , hetro or homo to begin with . No , the should never be Gay marriage . Marraige , hetro or homo needs to have no legal standing or Governmental recogition , and remain a purely religious phenomena .
