although i am a christian (no one should ever have to preface a statement with that...) i believe this is one of the best-said statements in the fight against a gay marriage ban:"senator, when you took your oath of office, you placed your hand on the bible and swore to uphold the constitution. you did not place your hand on the constitution and swear to uphold the bible."
this was in response to senator nancy jacobs (r) who said and then asked, "mr. raskin, my bible says marriage is only between a man and a woman. what do you have to say about that?"
raskin was testifying during a hearing on a proposed gay marriage ban, which, unfortunately, was ratified into law in several states, including georgia.
