The Marriage Chasm
Sadly, it would appear that about two thirds of the nation is against the idea of marriage between two men or two women.
The poll is completely unscientific and statistically invalid but when asked to respond to the statement: A marriage should be between a man and a woman. Fifty-nine percent strongly agreed with the statement and another 7% somewhat agreed. Only 18% either somewhat disagreed or strongly disagreed.

It would seem that the nation is against the idea of Sedalina being legally allowed to marry her girlfriend and enjoy the benefits afforded by the union.

I don't understand why though. Marriage is based on mutual love, why should that be restricted to hetero couples? How are people threatened by two men marrying or two women marrying? IS there such a deep homophobia that people can't see that a marriage based on love is stronger than one based on Joe Redneck getting his teenage girlfriend pregnant and HAVING to marry her?
