To me, marriage is about love between two people and not about love specifically between a man and a woman. I could not care less if it is two men, two women or a man and a woman. I feel allowing any two people that love each other to marry can only elevate and improve the covenant of marriage.

On Friday, I posted a link to the Mayor’s blog in which he talked about his opposition to the marriage amendment. Since posting, the mayor has received mostly positive comments, however, one person indicated her disappointment in the Mayor’s viewpoint. In response, the Mayor posted a great follow-up and the  above is a portion of his response. Great to see continued support from our political leaders, even in the face of opposition.
