I know this will come as a surprise for some of you, but those of you who visit often know my opinion already on this subject.  First, allow me to say that I am not a homosexual and, in fact, a happily married man to a beautiful woman.  Next, I am 100% for gay rights.  My question is, "why are you not"?  I consider myself a true Republican and in being so, I believe that the Government should remain small and not infringe on our individual rights.  I have a hard time understanding Republicans who believe that the government has no right to enter your closet and tell you to get rid of your guns (which of course the Gov't has NO right to do), yet they believe that the government has a right to enter your bedroom and tell you who you are legally allowed to share your life with.  It makes no sense.  Whether homosexuality is right or wrong, the government should be the last one to tell law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens who they can or cannot marry.  That last point sometimes gets lost on many Americans.  Despite them being gay, they are STILL Americans and as such, they deserve every right that we enjoy.  There are people who disagree with inter-racial marriage, should that too be illegal?  Of course not.  Proposing that would be ridiculous. 
     The most tragic example of discrimination against homosexuals must be the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy of the Armed Forces.  Especially in this day and age, it is mind-boggling that good soldiers are being thrown out of the military because of their sexual preference.  I have met many homosexuals in my life and I promise you, they are not vicious animals who will kidnap and sodomize you in a dark alley.  They are people, the same as us, and they want the same goal as we do.  They want the government to stop desecrating their individual liberties.  I only hope that for once Obama has more to contribute than just a speech.  He has got it wrong so many times, but this is the one cause that he can prove himself a successful President by backing.
