What matters is that we're hardly in a position to tell other cultures they should be more open-minded about sexuality when same-sex marriage isn't legal in all 50 states.


Trying to get all 50 states to agree on one thing is more difficult than it seems. Especially when some go out of their way to make it more complex than it needs to be.

And this is why you don't leave something so important up to the states.

I just mean, imagine you were a gay American living in Missouri or some other state in which same-sex marriage is banned. And you see our President or Secretary of State or anybody on the news saying that this or that other country is persecuting homosexuals and they need to be more tolerant. Wouldn't you feel like somebody got their priorities mixed up? I think I'd be pretty angry.
