I commented on VyVy Ha's blog because I feel she is right that thinking homosexuality is wrong is no different than when it was socially acceptable to beat your wife. That kind of ignorance needs to be stomped out at all cost.
I completely agree with your argument that the government is overstepping its boundaries by denying same gender couples the right to marry. And the type of ignorance and discrimination that is homophobia is unbecoming and, for lack of a better term, just plain wrong in this day and age. It's time that, not only Texas, nor America, but the world realizes that when it's all said and done, we are all human and the only way to grow as a race is to coexist and accept one another for who we are: gay, straight, white, black, Asian, hispanic, or whatever.

- My name's Adam. I was born in California and, as you can imagine, Texas policies are much different the they are out west. I am not, nor have I ever been interested in politics, I have no political influences. I usually just rely on my father to tell me how to vote. I'm taking this class as a requirement for my major in History. As I stated before, government and politics are not my cup of tea. I do hope, though, to have a better understanding of how government works and perhaps gain an appreciation for it. And according to the political quiz, I'm a Young Outsider.

Gov. Rick Perry the Felon?
On August 19 of this year, Texas Governor Rick Perry (R) was formally charged with two felony counts of abuse of power and coercion, as reported by Katie Couric of Yahoo News. If found guilty, Gov. Perry could face up to 109 years imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Although I'm not a fan of Gov. Perry, even I think that's a bit excessive. All he did was try to get a government official who was charged AND convicted of drunk driving, to resign. I'm no politician, but even I know that if you do something that embarrassing, you should resign on your own accord without being asked. After she refused, Perry decided to veto a $7.5 million bill that would fund her department. Enter the criminal charges. Although Gov. Perry might not have gone about it the right way, I honestly feel what he was trying to do was right.
Some feel that he was trying to replace her with another republican to help in his favor, but that's to political for me so I'm staying out of it.
