Amendment #2 Frustration

I want to take a moment to vent about my frustration regarding Amendment #2 passing.
I don't understand how the majority of Floridians fail to see same sex marriage, or any gay rights for that matter, as a civil rights issue. I am particularly frustrated at the same sex marriage ban because the ONLY reason people use to support the ban is a religious one. Yesterday, I heard someone say "Vote Yes on #2: God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve". I'm sorry, did you forget that we live in the United States where we have separation of church and state???? Uurgh!!!
