A Quote By:

Jeanne Phillips, aka Abigail Van Buren, aka Dear Abby, on her support for same-sex marriage:

"I believe if two people want to commit to each other, God bless 'em. That is the highest form of commitment, for heaven's sake. Accepting the status quo is not always the best thing to do. Women were once considered chattel, and slavery was regarded as sanctioned in the Bible. However, western society grew to recognize that neither was just. Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain have recognized gay marriage, and one day, perhaps, our country will, too. If gay Americans are not allowed to get married and have all the benefits that American citizens are entitled to by the Bill of Rights, they should get one hell of a tax break. That is my opinion."
