:: Supporting gay marriage ::

The American Anthropological Assoication has come out with a statement in response to Bush's support for a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as something between a biological man and a biological woman only.

The AAA statement says that "more than century of anthropological research ...provides no support whatsoever" for Bush's view.

I commend them for taking a stand on the issue and supporting the vast numbers of individuals out there who have been excluded from a cultural practice solely because they are in a relationship with a member of their same sex.
