Already some supporters are talking about an "underlying homophobia that needs to be challenged" its the beginning of a secular dictatorship that will make laws to restrict religious freedoms.
Read my post again. None of this is true. Its about allowing churches who accept gay marriage the legal right to conduct religious ceremonies. At no point does it force the more hateful religions to do so against their wishes.
Read up on the amendments yourself and the facts, before overreacting.
Please don't copy paste big chunks either, nobody here cares that your particular brand of religion wrote a big piece of unsubstantiated assertion about it.
