The following is an exchange we would LIKE to hear regarding a proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage:
Marriage Equality advocate: ... and that is why I support marriage equality for same-sex couples.
Religious Right elected official: "But sir, my Bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. What do you have to say about that?"
Marriage Equality advocate: "Senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You did not place your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."
Don't agonize, organize ... that's my mantra. Change won't happen unless you work to make it happen! But sometimes even your best efforts don't provide the results you were looking for. Or sometimes a situation is just so completely outrageous that all you can do is say ... YIKES!
