Gay Marriage Amendment Rejected by Senate
Have you watched Public Interest's Permission? This short from MTM6 captures the (obvious to some) ridiculousness that characterizes the gay marriage debate in the United States, a country that claims freedom and equality for all, but which continues to deny rights to its citizens based on, among other things, their sexual orientation. Good news today -- the Senate once again rejected the Gay Marriage Amendment which, if passed, would define marriage as being between one man and one woman. The amendment-pushers would have needed a two-thirds vote, but instead lost 49-48. While this is good news for the LGBT community and our allies, the fact that 48 of our US Senators voted for this amendment is sad and disturbing, and clearly a lot more work needs to happen before all Americans can marry anyone they want.
