State’s high court ruling on gay marriage painful By SHANNA McCORD SENTINEL STAFF WRITER August 13, 2004
“We are just trying to be good members of society and take responsibility for each other.” – Santa Cruz lawyer Margaret Leonard, who exchanged vows in San Francisco with her parther of 19 years.
I’m am saddened by what this decision has done to all of these couples. I think it’s awful. It’s time to stop discriminating against gays and lesbians! Let’s let them have the same rights as heterosexual married couples. It seems crazy to me that this is even an issue. To me it’s as crazy as the banning of interracial couples. It just seems nuts. These are people that are members of society, raise families, pay taxes, etc. They deserve the same rights. What does it matter if a gay couple gets married? What is so wrong with two people loving each other? The fundamentalist’s problem with it just totally baffles me.
