Regarding the July 3 report that several state Republican lawmakers felt an urgent need for legislation defining marriage as "the union of one man and one woman at one time":Whenever an issue arises, I first ask myself: Does this affect me in any important way? If the answer is "not that much," then I put the issue aside and move on.Those fearful Republicans who are terrified by the mere possibility of same-sex marriages need to ask themselves the same question: How would allowing gay couples to marry affect them personally? The answer is: Not at all. Unless, of course, they were gay. Then they would be able to enjoy the same legal, loving marital relationships the law currently offers straight couples.And this would be bad why?Donald VaughanRaleigh
