Say What?

I have a friend who may lose her marriage to her wife, yes her wife, and its not from divorce. The Mass. governing body is trying to put on the ballot for 2008 to rescind the right for gay and lesbian couples to marry legally. She has enjoyed several years of having the legal right to be married and now they want to take it away. My 15 year old daughter at lunch today said that isn't right how can they do that. If the people apposed to law could just meet and get to know her aunt they would see that their relationship is as normal as any other one. She also said the they need to follow there own rules because the main reason they say its wrong is because of their religion. This isn't a religious battle its a governmental battle. What ever happened to separation of church and state. I guess she has been paying attention in social studies.
I agree they did a simple thing by taking religion out of our schools how about our government. I can't even imagine how she feels. I would be outraged if they tried to tell me my husband and I could no longer be legally married. Stupidity doesn't cover it.
I am hoping that she will be surprised and have it come out in her favor after the election and saner minds prevail. And I am going to try and get over the fact that my daughter is 15 and having amazing conversations like this one over lunch.
