Hahaha
So i went to this thingy on Sunday, and I overheard someone talking about Prop 8 and how our government was created by our Founding Fathers whole were for the sanctity of marriage. Now im not gonna go on another no on h8 rant but i just found that one statement funny, and i want to point this out. Thomas Jefferson slept with Sally Hemings, one of his slave who may, or may not have been his half sister. Alexander Hamilton slept with another man's wife, and was later blackmailed into paying the husband or else he would tell the public (he eventually did). Benjamin Franklin slept with SOOOO MANY French Prostitutes. Washington himself may have married Martha Washington because she came from one of the wealthiest families in Virginia, he was actually in love with a married women before, and possibly (many historians believe so) during his marriage. My point is....Marriage is not our founding fathers' strong suit.
