News Flash! Earth Remains Intact!
Today, at 5:01 PM Pacific time, same-sex marriage became legal in California and several dozen homosexual men and women were legally married.
The stunning news is that the universe did not collapse in on itself. The sun did not go supernova. Jupiter did not alter its course and crash into us. And Earth itself did not explode.
Guess we dodged a bullet. Whew!
UPDATE: 6:30 PM on June 17th. Hundreds more same-sex marriages performed. Earth still exists. No reports of comets or asteroids altering their course to collide with us. Will report back later if Earth destroyed.

It is amazing how self-centered people can be (myself excluded of course).
If it doesn’t affect you, who the fuck cares.
Why shouldn’t they be able to have all the benefits a
straight couple has?
Maybe if it were explained to people this way:
If we don’t allow gay couples to get married and one of them doesn’t work, you and I have to pay their health insurance. If they get married, the other half’s company can pay for them instead.
That argument uses rational thought and logic, two tactics which have little to no effect on people who believe the bible or any other “holy” text is more than a collection of stories, and those who are influenced by said people.
