One of them said "if two people love each other they should be allowed to get married" and I said "what if I love two men and want to marry both of them, by your definition, you'd be discriminating against me if you didn't allow me to marry them both" - all of them thought I was nuts and that situation would never happen. None of them were aware that there is a couple of cases of polygamists waiting before the supreme court... and looking to us here in Mass to see how our situation ends up.
All in all, I was distressed and realized (as does my husband) that civil unions will indeed probably go through in March.
The debate on the floor of the legislature was an eye-opener for me. It was divided between the true-believing "civil rights" crowd and the "let the people vote" crowd. I didn't hear one legislator criticize homosexual "marriage" itself.
