It's not hurting anyone is it? I mean sure, Christians may be a little upset but religion and government are separate. America is quickly moving towards a more liberal agenda. What I would be more concerned with rather than gay rights and pedophilia is that our econonomy and budget are out of control and this has nothing to do with people's rights.

This. I don't dislike liberals or conservatives, only the mudslinging aspect that defines BOTH of them. And this whole thing, while wonderful news for gays and Gay Rights, is nothing more than a distraction from how horribly run our country has become. This is thanks entirely to one group of people, and the answer isn't liberals or conservatives. 

 

The answer is politicians. Government jobs aren't supposed to be so lucrative. They aren't supposed to pay so well or come with so much influence. It's supposed to be a service to your fellow man, not a business. When politicians make as much money as they do from giving themselves pay raises and accepting lobbyist bribes, it stops being about your fellow man and starts being about your own self interest. What's worse is that they control everything now, and there's no way to get them out short of a full scale revolution. You can't run, because the media they bought won't cover you and you won't be allowed in their special groups. You won't win because the votes they already bought our faked amounts to more than you can possibly achieve. And if you do win, you won't last because they bought your vice president and had you killed. It's a system we're locked out of and at the same time locked into. Stuff like legalizing gay marriage at this point in time is just a sleight of hand. "Pay attention to the shiny ball while we raise your taxes, you morons!"

 

tl;dr Congratulations, my gay friends, but know this victory is bittersweet in that the current media coverage is now NOT focused on whatever awful things or government is doing.
