Array ( [sid] => 46833 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Divided State of America [time] => 2004-05-09 20:01:26 [hometext] => Banning Gay marriage is a discrimination... many may be against it due to their religious reasons, but need I remind you of the seperation of church and state... I'm not even gay and I feel this is wrong [bodytext] => How can you justify your actions
With the persecution of freedom
Was it not written?
This is a contradiction
Of everything we stand for
You’ve beaten it to the ground
Does their personal agenda
Affect you somehow
As you build your paradox
And how can we be “United�
In this discrimination of unity
Where’s the opportunity?
We call ourselves “the brave�
When clearly we’re afraid of change

Bush said during the 2000 campaign that gay marriage is something to leave up to the states. After the war in Iraq went bad, he decided to use gay marriage as a distraction to win back the Christian right. What's really sad is that it seems to be working.
