I am even more concerned at the energy and time that is being wasted on an issue that is inevitable- the next generation is sure to embarrass us as as they learn that some of our generation feel it necessary to regulate whom we love and how our neighbors and friends should love one another. I thought I lived in an intelligent, open-minded state and society. Taking a basic human rights issue and putting it to a VOTE is nothing short of reactionary and against our American ideals.
