Good thing that we as a country didn't put woman's and black's civil rights up for vote with the general population. We may not have gotten equal rights with all of the bigots in this country.
Why would a person choose to have a life that will be harder? Why would would a person choose a lifestyle that makes him/her a target for discrimination and hate crimes? GLBT people do not choose to be the way that they are they are born. Do you choose to be a bigot? Are your parents ignorant and raised you that way?
Isn't this the first time in our nations history that a state constitution is being amended to take away the rights of a group of people. This is a civil rights issue. If you take take one little word out - gay - and replace it with another - black, hispanic, jewish, whtc. white, people would be outraged. The fact that this was even up for a vote is a disgrace.
