I know Kerry is against gay marraige. However, his statements didn't come off as prejudiced and he didn't sound like a bigot when he was giving his reasons.
I saw no attack on Cheny or his daughter. Unless you consider him saying "Cheneys daughter is being who god made her" is an attack (which is blatantly silly). If anyone attacked anyone it was Bush, who basically attacked all gay people by saying that them getting married would ruin marriage for everyone else, which is indirectly insulting their lifestyle.
Again, outdated morals need to be changed. Just because something has been a certain way for 7000 years doesn't mean it's RIGHT. It doesn't mean it shouldn't be changed to coincide with new, correct, morals. If morals didn't change, slavery would still exist.
Also, Marriage is hardly a religious cerimony anymore. Plenty of people who aren't religious get married these days, it's no more religious then a funeral is these days. Both it and marriage started off that way, but as I said, things change as time goes on. Now, marriage is simply a way to pledge your undying love to someone else, as a funeral is simply a way to pay your last respects to a dead loved one.
Lets also keep in mind that obviously Bush didn't like what the founding fathers defined marriage as, so he changed it to stricly say "between a man and a woman" rather then "between two people who love eachother" or whatever it said before.
