The Political Tracker - The Same Love Act Poll (Results)

[TNF]

It's pretty pathetic that (aside from DemPGH's opposition to this on public health grounds) the vast majority of people oppose this because it's 'icky.' You would think that having a modicum of understanding of the real life effects of the state dictating which relationships are given official sanction would give those opposed at least some empathy for those denied the right to have their relationships recognized as such, but apparently not. I don't see why any number of people should not be allowed to enter into whatever relationship they wish to enter into, for any reason. I don't think that the state should be in the business of denying that right on the basis of the genders of the parties involved or on the basis of those people being blood relatives.

Surely the state has better things to do than crash the McPoyle family wedding.
