Dear Editor:
We are so very proud of our President and Vice President, for expressing their personal support for couples wishing to share their love and commitment through marriage, regardless of race, creed, gender or sexual orientation. All Americans should have equal rights under our laws.
Religious leaders and followers of all creeds espouse that God is love, If that is true, then he/she must be smiling broadly in approval that our leaders finally understand love’s true meaning.Americans should not vote to take away other people’s rights. Marriage must not be just for “a man and a woman”. It provides comfort and security for all couples who bond in love.

Just for clarification. You believe that marriage is a federally constituted right?
“If that is true, then he/she must be smiling broadly in approval that our leaders finally understand love’s true meaning.”
Sorry. Wrong. The Bible states repeatedly and inambiguously that marriage is a sacred union of man and woman.
J.Jeggle, And the book of Fairey Tails states repeatedly and ambiguously that the bible is a somewhat entertaining book but that it’s full of fables and ideas so outrageous as to be dismissed from serious discussion.
“All Americans should have equal rights under our laws.”
They DO! The right to marry: *One *Eligible *Consenting *Adult *of the opposite gender.
What exactly is unequal about that?
If you want to work to erase “of the opposite gender” from the definition, that’s one thing. But to say the treatment is currently unequal is nonsense, a false appeal to “rights” because the reality – “We want what we want!” – as a rallying cry doesn’t elicit the same kind of public sympathy.
