It's sad to see that so many of those interviewed in the article, "Gay weddings' support varies at Penn State (Feb. 25)," falling back on the flawed argument that, because the Bible says same-sex marriages are wrong, then the government should declare it as wrong. Even the Bush administration has to try to make a better excuse than to say that a god decides America's laws. Of course, Bush's traditional argument sounds an awful lot like it would have made sense if applied to slavery, limited suffrage and innumerable other oppressions of the past. It's ironic that so many people who decry the application of Sharia law in Islamic countries would happily accept so-called biblical laws here. Of course, that's not to say they would accept all of them, just the ones that would not personally inconvenience them.
