The other day I was delighted to hear that the Marriage Equality Bill had been approved by the NJ committee and is going to move to the senate. I'm straight, but I have quite a few friends from high school who are gay. On facebook, I'm a fan of Garden State Equality. I would love to see this come into law, and finally see all of my friend marry who they feel is the right one. People say that they don't understand it and that's why they oppose it, but I just don't understand that. To me, love is love. If you can understand how you love your spouse or you girlfriend or boyfriend, you can understand how they feel. It doesn't matter what gender you love, it matters that the love is there. Some people think that gay couples shouldn't be allowed to adopt, I think that's wrong. If a straight couple can adopt and love it, a gay couple can adopt and love the child. They may even love them "more" because they can't have their own with their partner like a straight couple possibly could. It may be odd to some now, but how can we begin to breed tolerance and bring up our own children that way if we still tell those people that what they think or feel is wrong? Everyone should open their hearts and minds to love, and realize that no matter how it manifests, it's the same.

I dont understand what the big deal is either. I think we need to remember that there is supposed to be a seperation of church and government. By not passing this bill the government is imposing its religious views on other people.
