Working middle class cuts own throat so gays can't marry!
(-snip-)One-fourth of Ohio voters identified themselves as born-again Christians and they backed Bush by a 3-to-1 margin.

A sideline issue in the national presidential campaign, gay civil unions may have been a sleeper that hurt Kerry — who strongly supports that right — in Ohio and elsewhere. Ohioans expanded their law banning gay marriage, already considered the toughest in the country, with an even broader constitutional amendment against civil unions.

In all, voters in 11 states approved constitutional amendments limiting marriage to one man and one woman.(-snip-)

This is one damned stupid country. I hope all those assholes who have next to minimum wages jobs and voted for Bush go to their friendly, neighborhood church and ask it to pay their bills when they're laid off.

1. Who knew bigotry would be so powerful?
Maybe if we had someone who fought that battle before and won, we could have convinced some of them voting their sexual fears isn't worth losing their wallet over.
