It’s refreshing to hear more than baby stories (which have their place, but can get old after a while). Thanks for taking the opportunity to make a difference and enter into meaningful dialogue about real issues!

You made so many good points, morally, politically, historically, religiously, etc… I also respect your courage for writing a post on such a controversial topic. I was very saddened when Prop 8 divided so many people in our community. I was surprised when so many signs in favor of Prop 8 went up around my neighborhood. It was very eye-opening and disappointing. Aimee, what a beautiful and intelligently written post!

One of the reasons I really do adore your blog. I think you and I would actually be friends, if I didn’t like in the middle of nowhere, i.e., Arkansas. This post, Aimee?

Another point often brought up is that gay marriage is detrimental to straight marriage. Umm, first off in what way is that possible? Second, how many unmarried gay couples have been waiting for this day for longer than some straight married couples have even known each other? I wonder what the divorce rates are for gay couple married in 2000 compared with straight couples married the same year?

As a black woman, the whole issue of equality is upfront and yet it doesn't matter what your background or what your forebears had to fight for - so many people still find it in themselves to sit in judgement on others. I hope and pray that as a global society we keep pushing forwards and stop making laws based on dated arguments and personal prejudice. Two of our good friends will be getting married in Paris this year and hopefully we will be there to celebrate with them. Did I mention whether they were gay, bi or straight? It's none of your business! You always write such strong posts, telling it how it is without beating anybody over the head with your argument.
