Are men second class citizens because the woman makes the choice to carry a baby or not? Even though it is his child too?
A man lives with his girlfriend and has children, but doesn't have the rights of two gays living together, are they second class too?
They have the same rights in a civil union, so I don't see how they are second class. I have the right to vote, and I believe the word marriage should be defined as a man and a woman. And that is what this amendment does. If it was hurting them in some way, I could understand, but it is written not to take away their rights. I respect how you feel, and I understand, but plz respect how I feel. Maybe someday times will change and the majority will change the amendment. But right now I feel marriage should be defined as man and woman, and it is what I want my kids to be taught. If I am a bigot for it, so be it, maybe I will be forgiven.
