Last night, I went to bed in Minnesota. This morning, I woke up in some other state. Minnesota's legislature voted last night to put on the fall 2012 ballot a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
What is wrong with people? Why do heterosexuals think that the institution of "marriage" is something only they should have?
I just don't get it, especially because the latest Gallup Poll found that the majority of Americans support legalizing same-sex marriage.
Oh wait, I *do* get it: politics. Republicans make a power-play to beat-up-on the Democratic governor.
Republicans seem to be the party that's protecting the patriarchy: Suzanne Pharr's "Homophobia: A Weapon of Sexism" explains so many of the Republicans' moves for social control. They want to limit anything to do with the feminine, continue to keep women in subordinate positions, preserve the privilege of the patriarchy.
Fight back against their power to show that might does *not* make right.
