Another Progressive Voice

Atrios reports that a county clerk in New Mexico will issue same-sex marriage license applications, stating that it is not either a political or moral decision:

    Sandoval County Clerk Victoria Dunlap says the county plans to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples.

Now Tom DeLay is having a fit about this, saying the American people are having homosexuality forced down their throats.

However, I would argue the reverse. We've had an extreme right-wing agenda, masked in fundamentalist Christianity, shoved down our throats. Everyone is supposed to live their lives in light of how they deem they should be lived. That's simply not fair. I still cannot fathom how gay marriage harms anyone.
