If memory serves, it was Democrats who were dead set against giving Blacks any rights. Marriage is not a right. Futhermore, well over 50% of the population is against gay marriage. That means that some on the left must be "trying to hold back the tide of progress of civil rights." As far as the government goes, no. The people should decide, like with Prop 8. I am dead set against, and have written it many times, the government and the GOP getting involved in the gay marriage debate. Really?
