  What has America come to when perverted religious teachings have infiltrated the state constitutions of the United States? Recently, Missouri passed an amendment to their constitution banning gay marriage. In November a measure will be on the Oregon ballot attempting to ban gay marriage. With 60% of Americans favoring a constitutional amendment this will be pass easily. WHAT THE FUCK! How could 60% of Americans favor limiting the rights of their fellow citizens. What is wrong with gay marriage? I'll tell you what Americans don't like about it: the bible condemns homosexuality. People feel that they need to subject the rest of our country with their religious views. The last time I checked the Constitution of the United States of America said that Church and State would not mix. This has got to be the most blatant violation to our constitution I have ever seen. We cannot allow a 2000 year old book dictate the way we live. People have used the bible to protect slavery, and in the 60s some states banned interracial marriage citing the bible as their guiding light. How foolish Americans will feel in 50 years when we look back at our homophobic actions. Text books will describe how one president even tried to pass an amendment banning gay marriage.
As an American, I have learned that every person is born with certain inalienable rights, and that everyone should be able to exercise them. And, today, Americans are trying to stop their fellow citizens from doing so. "The objection to Puritans is not that they try to make us think as they do, but that they try to make us do as they think. " -H.L. Mencken
