 ^ It's good to see that so many states are finally allowing homosexuals to marry (most states were recently forced to by the Supreme Court.) It is still wrong that any US state doesn't allow gays to marry. It's a question of homosexual civil rights and nothing more. It is discrimination to not allow gays to marry just as segregation was for non-whites  The blue states on the map above allow gay marriage and treat their residents as regular citizens whereas the other color states on the map continue to openly discriminate and treat their homosexual residents as second-class citizens. It is marriage apartheid. While the trend around the world has been to support equal rights for homosexuals there are still large areas (ie Africa, the MIddle East, Russia, etc) where being gay can get you fined, imprisoned or even put to death.) You do not have to be gay to want equal rights for homosexuals. It's  called Straight, But Not Narrow. It works on the same belief of white people helping blacks get their civil rights or men helping women with theirs. ^
