Wow you guys took that the wrong way. I'm trying to establish how the "sanctity of marriage" are never grounds to stand on when trying to suppress gay marriage.

The families that John McCain describe are very few compared to vast majority of Americans that have grown up in less than "standard" family arrangements, and society is still functioning fine because of it. It's preposterous for McCain to claim that protecting sanctity is important to society, when there is no evidence to support this.


ps. I'm a feminist and a womens studies major and no, the majority of these women that I'm describing are hard-working moms that have to deal with dead-beat dads. I'm not talking about those on welfare.

But lets go there: Poor mothers should starve while millions are wasted on a campaign(marriage) claiming something that is not? We "rich" already gave up our tax dollars, I'd rather see it feed people than wasted at this point...
