"Opponents of gay marriage can drag their feet and bitch and moan and make all the ridiculously offensive and outrageous campaign ads that they want. But you’re wasting your money. You’re wasting your time. There will be no great gay conspiracy that will be revealed at the root of this. There will be no reckoning from a higher being for our support of our homosexual brethren. And there will be no quantitative data that proves that gay marriage hurts us as a nation or has destroyed the institution of marriage. And one day things will be different. I guarantee that. And just like with everything else, there will be a right side of history and a wrong side. Just like there was in the civil rights movement. Just like there was in Nazi Germany. Just like there was in Ancient Rome. And when my grandchildren look up at me and ask what it was like to live in an America where we openly held rights away from our own citizens? I will tell them. But I will also be proud to say that I was fighting on the right side.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: denying rights to people is not only un-American, it’s inhumane.

1. it’s inevitable that gays will eventually have the right to marry. history has proven over and over again that equality always prevails, in regard to racial rights, gender rights, nationality rights, whatever. over a long enough period of time, equality will have its way.
2. i, too, will be proud to say that i was on the right side, which coincidentally is the left side.

I hope that I will be able to look at my daughter and explain to her how it was before she was born...and how denying the rights of other human beings, American citizens, was a way of the past. Something she will never have to worry about in her lifetime. I can hope.
