stacked against love ...
This is beautifully written, and achingly true: Keith Olbermann on gay marriage.
I know posting the link here is like preaching to the choir, but perhaps some of you have friends or family members who do not support gay marriage rights. This might be a good thing to send them.
"The world is barren enough. It is stacked against love, and against hope, and against those very few and precious emotions that enable us — all of us — to go forward ... With so much hate in the world, with so much meaningless division, and people pitted against each other for no good reason, this is what your religion tells you to do? With your experience of life and this world and all its sadnesses, this is what your conscience tells you to do?"
