"If we want to have a hopeful and decent society, we ought to aim for the ideal, and the ideal is that marriage ought to be, and should be, a union of a man and a woman," Bush political aide Karl Rove told "Fox News Sunday."So basically, I can't marry my girlfriend (of course, we live in Massachusetts and are planning our wedding, so I guess that actually makes her my fiancee) because to do so would destroy all hope and decency in American society.
Not that Karl Rove would ever do anything to violate the pedestal upon which he would have us place exclusively heterosexual marriage, such as a strategy of pushing constitutional amendments against gay marriage in those states with high concentrations of evangelical Christian voters in the hopes of bolstering their numbers at the polls during the election in which George Bush would coincidentally also be running for re-election. No, he would never dream of such a thing.
Hope and decency. Guess what - Massachusetts has it in truckloads, along with legalized marriage for gay couples. I'm just hoping for decent weather on a particular Saturday late next June...
