On my way to work today, I heard Gov. Herbert say that he hopes an appeal to the Supreme Court of the 10th Circuit Court decision on gay marriage is quickly addressed. For perhaps the first time, I can say I wholeheartedly agree with the governor! I, too, hope that the Supreme Court quickly ends this absurdity of inequality. It doesn't matter if people vote that they want to deny equal rights to their fellow citizens. Like I tell my children, just because you want it, that doesn't make it right.
