			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To me, this says it all:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 328px"><a href="http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/results/polls/#CAI01p1"><img title="Prop. 8 Votes by Education Level" src="http://blog.ryandubois.net/wp-content/prop8.png" alt="Prop. 8 Votes by Education Level" width="318" height="314" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Prop. 8 Votes by Education Level</p></div>
<p>Education is the path to fairness for all?</p>
<p>What makes it even more painful, is that this legislation flies directly in the face of the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America:</p>
<blockquote><p>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that  			they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among  			these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</p></blockquote>
<p>Where is the pursuit of Happiness now?</p>
<p>Let me put it thusly:</p>
<p>If these churchs believe so strongly believe that gay marriage is wrong, then they should simply not perform gay marriages in their churchs.  Don&#8217;t go telling everyone else in the state that they have to believe the same way.  In fact, it could be construed that this is unconstitutional.</p>
<p>The First Amendment of the constitution states this:</p>
<blockquote><p>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibing the free exercise thereof;&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Now, what if my religion happens to support gay marriage.  This law is now a law that prohibits the free exercise of my religion.</p>
