Well...the bible doesn't talk about gay marriage specifically, but it touches on homosexuality in generally. Most people will site the book of Leviticus (specifically Leviticus 18:22), but thinking that "god" doesn't want people to be happy regardless of sexual persuasion is a bit counterintuitive to the whole nature of the bible. What most people fail to realize is that all biblical and religious texts were not written by the deity they are about. They were all written by man...the bible specifically as long as 400-500 years after Jesus' death. Word of mouth stories can change a lot in 500 years. These are probably the same people that made Jesus into a white man even though he was clearly an Arab. My big problem with this whole hoopla, especially a constitutional amendment, is that it flies right in the face of the Bill Of Rights. Remember...everyone has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's not "happiness so long as everyone is comfortable with it". If you really wanted to ban gay marriage, you should've stuck with the original John Locke wording (that's right...jefferson pretty much stole that line from John Locke) "life, liberty, and the pursuit of property". Funny thing is that this is a religious/morality issue and people want laws against it. Religion has no place in politics...just like facts have no place in organized religion. It's also incredible immoral to attempt to legislate morality. So yeah...I don't even see how this can even be an issue.

And Lyna...it is actually illegal for transexuals to marry people of their original sex. While you can legally change your name, you can't legally change your sex. A...uhhhh....person (man who became a woman) was actually arrested in Kansas City after marrying a guy who knew his whole history because they said he filed a false legal document (marriage liscence claiming he was a female). Way to go Amerika...leading the world in legislating bigotry and intolerance since 1776.
