In MA people said that 'activist judges' were going to ruin the state, and that marriage would never be what it once was. Well, now a few years later and only a few people seem really bent out of shape over it. Gay people getting married has not changed anybodies marriage, unless you are so much of a busybody that you can't function because you are constantly thinking about what other people are doing.
15 years ago a lawyer friend of mine pointed out the MA General Laws that forbids marriage to certain relatives, people under a certain age, and to multiple living spouses. The MA Constitution says that everybody is equal under the law with no distinction for gender. I suspect it was intended to give women the same legal rights as men, but the judges in MA had no choice - they could not define marriage one way for straight people and another way for gays.
So Perry, your argument about pedophilia is irrelevant (for MA anyways) because we already have laws against it, and they are not likely to be overturned. Pedophilia is not related to being gay. There was a study done in Denver a few years ago that concluded that only 2% of molestation cases (where the perp was identified) were carried out by gays or lesbians. So maybe straight people and priests are the problem.
For me the whole thing comes down to freedom. I have gay friends, and I support their right to be treated exactly as I am under the law. I support their right to live their lives as they see fit provided they do not interfere with anyone elses right to do the same.
