Two quotes from Jon Stewart's interview with Mike Huckabee last night, which perfectly stated deep-seated feelings I've had for a while (both from Jon, of course!):
"Religion is far more of a choice than homosexuality."
"It's a travesty that people have forced someone who is gay to have to make their case that they deserve the same basic rights as someone else."
A-freaking-men!!!
I also loved that he called Huckabee (and other similar people against gay marriage) out on the fact that by making their argument one of gay marriage "changing the definition of marriage, which has for *thousands* of years been a union between a man and a woman", they are resorting to semantics and ignoring the humanity. Too bad those people will likely never see it properly.

I also love Jon for calling him out on that. Rights are rights!
R - I don't know if you're familiar with him, but a very good friend of mine is a political cartoonist. He drew a cartoon on this topic, which I think sums it up perfectly:

That's a terrific comic!
