"They're going to bring with them their same-sex marriages," said Rep. Paul Stam, an Apex Republican and House majority leader. "They're going to want to get divorced" and have custody issues decided, he said. "We're not equipped to handle that."
We aren't equipped to handle it because we have too many heterosexual divorces to settle first, I guess. For all the progress it seems we have made as a nation in the field of civil rights, it is dumb shit like this that reminds us we have a long way to go. This is another example of how religion has no place in politics.
I will vote against it and hope my vote matters. I'm also glad that the people who represent me voted against it.
