At one time, women in this nation didn’t have the right to vote. When the suffrage movement came to fruition, and women gained the right to vote…it wasn’t voted on.

At one time, interracial marriage was outlawed in parts of this country. When the ‘activist judges’ overturned that law as discriminatory…it wasn’t voted on.

When desegregation was ordered in the south, allowing Blacks to attend the same schools as whites. Allowing Blacks to drink from the same water fountains, vote, use the same exits and entries into public establishments…it wasn’t voted on.

All the examples above are called progress. Those were all things that this country should be embarrassed ever happened. Why did they happen. White man, who forcibly took this land from its original inhabitants made those laws…and used the Bible to base them upon. According to the Bible (and I point my finger at Maggie Gallagher as I say this) women are to serve men. They are nothing more, nothing less. If you asked the Mormon church, up until they were threatened with taxation by the former President Jimmy Carter in 1978, people of color were people of color because they were being punished by God…therefore, segregation was God’s command. Even today, with the recent racial bigotry in Louisiana, interracial marriage was not condoned, yet condemned by the world of God…or the Bible, which was written by who?

Again, I’m glad we as a nation have moved past those extremely embarrassing times of our history. Ms. Gallagher is sure happy she has the right to vote…so she can vote against the evil gays wanting to be equal citizens. In fact, she, (as those who didn’t believe women should have the right to vote stated about a woman’s right to vote) has said, “it’s common sense” that gay’s shouldn’t be allowed to marry.

So why is it, that when it comes to a person in the LGBT community wanting to marry the partner they love, wanting to know they can’t be fired or denied housing for loving their partner, it’s put up to a vote? Why is it, when a state’s legislature, or a court of justices decide it’s unfair and discriminatory to not give a minority equality, their decision is allowed to be put up for a vote? Why are rights for LGBT citizens, the only rights in the history of this nation, allowed to be challenged by a Christian belief system, and put up for a vote?

Do I get to vote on where Maggie Gallagher lives? If I do, I vote for the moon.
