The new anti gay marriage talking point

There's a new ad out regarding gay marriage.  The new talking point among the bigots is that gay marriage somehow infringes upon the rights of straight people, by taking away their "special" right to marry.  

This is complete bullshit.  

I am married.  To a woman.  If two people get married and they happen to be the same sex, great.  It does not affect the relationship that I have with my wife, nor does it affect anyone except for those two people.

Their argument also suggests that gay marriage will somehow change the institution of marriage.  It will.  But so what?  100 years ago, divorce was as rare as gay marriage is today.  500 years ago, women were property.  Marriage has evolved with our culture and this is no different.

I suggest that those of you who read this blog who care about individual rights go here.
