Touchy for a whole lot of people methinks.
Especially the ban vs gay marriages rubs me the wrong way, given that America is supposedly the land of the free where you are equally an American no matter your race/skin color/personal beliefs/whatever. I guess sexual orientation just didn't make the cut. I think it will some day though, I believe people will become more tolerant of the idea of gay couples getting married over time.
No offense to any Americans intended, I just don't appreciate the current politics of your country (or at least parts of it). Especially since the gay marriage ban seems to find its roots in religion, which I personally believe should be kept as far away from politics as humanly possible. You simply should not legislate based on religious grounds.
But I'll be the first to admit that I don't fully comprehend the concept of religion as it is in America.
