cereusI'm Saddened by this.
Prop 102, which disallows gay marriage in AZ passed.
I'm not always sure about the usefulness of marriage. I'm not even sure what marriage means, aka which are the important parts. Is it the devotion to the other person, the "till death do us part", the fidelity, the social status of "being married"? I do understand the ability to visit your lover in the hospital and to retain custody of your kids in case something happens to your beloved.
But being married to the person you love is a human right, and it is bigoted to deny some people that right.
I'm sorry.
