I am outraged by the vote against gay marriage. I am not bisexual or gay but many others in this world are, so who, in God’s name, says that it is our decision to allow it or not?

Anyone should be given the chance of happiness. No person should stand in the way of that.

I’m completely and utterly ashamed of my state, thanks to the close-minded fools residing here.

As I said before, it is not up to us to decide the marriage rights of any sexual orientation. Let love reign and peace dominate.
