Wisconsin State Assembly Passes "Marriage" bill
Advertisements [?]
To deny gays and lesbians the right to marriage. It also denies civil unions. I was even more upset when I found out 6 Democrats voted for it. I fired off this letter:

You should be ashamed to call yourself a representative of the people of the state of Wisconsin.

By voting for the so-called MARRIAGE BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN you have shown that it's OK to discriminate against a group of individuals that you do not agree with. I am saddened that you call yourself a Democrat.

It's funny, you know, that you seek to deny me of basic respect and rights but you will have no problems taking my money for your schools, parks, taxes, etc. Basically you've relegated gays and lesbians to the status held by blacks in years gone by. We should be seen and not heard.

Thanks. Really. You've shown your true colors. I hope you never have to have a friend, family member, or worse, a child, come to you and ask you how you could be so hateful.

Sadly, it really didn't make me feel any better.
