It baffles me that this is still a huge thing. Some gay couple needs to sue the state of Louisiana, take it all the way up to the supreme court, and have it decreed unconstitutional for thei marriage to be forbidden...because it is absolutely unconstitutional! That's why I don't fret over gay rights--it's only a matter of time before they are allowed, in my opinion.

Only the Supreme Court stands in the way of a tyrannical majority now...
