I hear ya. Amen. What gets me is that popular opinion should have no place in human rights issues. And for me, the matter of gay marriage is a human rights issue. Unless we take away all government context to marriage, and make it a purely religious institution (in which case it can be granted to only penguins and flamingos for all I care - you can define it how you want then), we cannot deny it to some of our citizens just because it suits us.
