Putting Glasses Back On

Majority Leader of the Senate Bill Frist has said he will introduce a Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage in June. This is a purely political move to try to boost Republican votes at the poles this November. It is a prime example of what Republicans are best at - screwing people over.

Since the country was founded we have been making positive steps toward equality. To write discrimination into our Constitution puts us back 150 years. Beyond that, it changes the overall direction of the country.

I'm starting to lose my Kantian ideals that as time progresses, we remove more and more of our eyeglasses.
