And I know that it would not improve relations between homo and hetero which should be the ultimate goal. So I believe (for better or worse) that the issue should stay in the hands of the state.

I'm not a single issue voter and I am not a gay rights activist ( I do live my life in the open and the community still sees fit to bestow their trust upon me to UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION and the laws of Alabama) but I do stand behind the 10th amendment movement. I applaud my state govt for passing the Sovereignty Resolution. Like most gays, I am a proud American. I love my country and continue to serve it everyday (on a local level). I want to see it continue as a symbol of freedom to the rest of the world. Which is why I am in favor of this movement. Yes, gay marraige is a hot topic. And 80 % of the voters in the state have shown they are not in favor of it. I have to accept that. But, opinions change over time. Even here. More of us "come out" everyday and show our neighbors that we are not what you see on tv. We are just like you.

This was at about the same time he was proposing to grant amnesty to illegal imigrants. Serving as a city police officer, I thought..wow..this guy wants to give rights to people that aren't US citizens while taking

As someone born and raised in rural Alabama, I think it's safe to say that I am no stranger to the debate of state's rights. Some might label me a "tenther" and I suppose they would be right. Many gays would be hesitant to support the 10th amendment movement as the only job protection that some of us see (Alabama) comes from the Federal Govt….

Indeed, Gay Rights activists have used a 'bottom up' strategy for a long time now, we can learn a lot from each other as allies.

I have often thought that gay rights advocates would make ideal allies in the fight for smaller, less intrusive government. After all, they know what it is like to be on the outside looking in.
