Homophobes Unite

Massachusetts Weighs a Deal on Marriages Between GaysGee, just when I thought a state was taking a tolerant view, along comes the homophobes. I am still puzzled over how this affects the "sanctity of marriage". I'm married - how is it going to affect me if two men marry or two women marry? Is that supposed to somehow invalidate my marriage because they got married? Why are so many people so scared?

Update* - Tune in to Nightline w/ Ted Koppel tonite for a discussion of this issue.
