It's About Inalienable Rights, Stupid

I've been meaning to lay out my thoughts on the atrocity that is Prop 8, but Andrew Sullivan has a post today, one among many about pro-marriage protests going on right now, that says it much better than I could. A selection:

"We are so often told by opponents of marriage equality that they do not oppose our right to have basic legal protections. What they do not understand, because they have never had to understand, is that without legal marriage, gay couples are always subject to the veto of family members who have more say over our spouses under the law than we do."

Denying people their fundamental rights because of religious bigotry is indefensible.
