You've got to me kidding me. This WI rep (Mark someone from New Berlin) is on NPR defending his stance against gay marriage by saying that allowing it will make the institution less "unique." He seriously compared marriage to something that is "rarely given out" like a "gold medal." Granting marriages is rare?!? He's saying marriage is the "cornerstone of society" and that the "man-woman marriage has worked great!" Marriage needs "mean something." Now he's saying that yeah, there are problems within straight marriages and they need to treat their marriages more like "gold medals" that are special. Fucking hypocrite. If these people were so concerned about the state of marriage in general they would be enacting legislation that affects straight people who want to marry also. He is also admittedly worried about "maintaining the status quo." There. At least he said it. When are these goddamn fools going to wake up and walk out of their bubble and realize no matter what discriminatory laws they pass that people will be diverse in their actions, thoughts, beliefs...and that that is okay. We don't all have to be THE SAME in order for society to be productive. So frustrating. People and their fear. FRUSTRATING!
