I live in AZ and I voted against the ban. AZ is very backwards and there are many racists people here. It is changing, but slowly.

No. It is disgraceful that, on this historic day, the people of Florida, Arizona, and perhaps California would reject basic civil rights.

didn't they used to say inter-racial marriage was a threat to the sanctity of the American family? Didn't they used to ban that too by law?

    Whether someone agrees with gay marriage or not, it is not in our constitution to deny anybody freedoms and liberties.

    Should we go back and take away women's right to vote, or the right for blacks to vote? I say if people love each other, let them marry!

    What I agree with is love. All people should have the right to commit to and be allowed to marry the onethat is their is their heart song.

      Being more inclusive of ethnic minorities may mean accepting that they might be more socially conservative than white liberals would like.

      It is the only thing tainting my joy and pride tonight. Still, I have hope that someday we will finally say NO to hate once and for all.

      The bans are sexism and denial of civil rights to citizens. They represent a betrayal of the nation and its ideals.

      It is ridiculous that we continue to deny rights to any living human. Stop arguing about fetus's feelings and think about your fellow man.

      Marriage in this day and age is practically unnecessary, so I don't see the need for it to be extended outside the man/woman meaning.

      The only arguments for banning gay marriage are religious in nature; therefore laws banning gay marriage violate the Establishment clause.

      An ideal of man. Marriage has always been between man and woman but let's not forget this was also a country which believed in slavery.
