Copy this sentence into your livejournal if you’re in a heterosexual marriage, and you don’t want it “protected” by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

I was going to write a paragraph after copying that sentence. I thought about writing about how my marriage certainly wouldn’t be in any danger because someone else got married, whether they were straight or gay. I thought about writing about how it’s laughable that people want to legislate who can fall in love with who, and who gets to decide what a marriage should really be. I thought about wrting a rant against the people who use religion to object to gay marriage but let a whole lot of other things that are in the bible slide by with nary a complaint.

But then I re-read the sentence, and I think that pretty much covers it.
