Well, he's gone and done it. President Bush has gone and
endorsed the Federal Marriage Amendment, which is a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States which turns back the clock on gay rights by about twenty years.

You know, the good old days when men were men, women were women, and gays were slowly being wiped off the face of the planet.
If I sound bitter and angry, it's because I am. But there's a silver lining here. I think the political ramifications of this decision are going to benefit my side considerably. But before I get to that, I want to vent about the breathtaking nastiness of this amendment, and the heartlessness, bigotry, and utter hatred it would take for anyone to knowingly support it.
