		<description>I am neither gay nor black, but always find it interesting what battles people are slaying. Truckers are always battling &quot;tourists&quot; at truck stops. Teachers are always battling parents. Unions are always battling business owners. And to some degree &quot;cat people&quot; are always battling &quot;dog people&quot;.  What interests me about the gay and black issues is that they somehow involve government. 

Sure, they have a more violent history than most battles - and from that come scarred people. But to take the issues back to the government is living in the past - not the future. The government should not at all be involved with these issues - whatsoever. The day government erased their segregation of blacks and gays should have been the last day. 

Government sanctioned gay marriage is wrong. But guess what? So is government sanctioned heterosexual marriage. What business does the government have in who we marry? None. Change the laws so everyone files taxes individually - and the story is over. Don&#039;t fight to be included - fight so that everyone can be excluded. 

And be happy Obama hasn&#039;t fulfilled promises. He shouldn&#039;t. Another law or piece of legislation is one more step toward saying &quot;I don&#039;t matter, unless the government says I do&quot;. You need the right to vote, own property and pursue happiness - everything else is the government over stepping their bounds.
