Princeton Says 'I Do' To Gay Marriage
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon05/12/121205prince.htm

Students at Princeton University - considered the most conservative of Ivy League schools - have given a thumbs up to same-sex marriage.

Two questions concerning gay marriage were put to students on the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) winter ballot. The referenda were highly unusual. Most years the ballot is confined to selecting representatives for the USG.

The first question asked if the student government should sign an amicus brief on behalf of plaintiffs in a lawsuit before the state Supreme Court. The second asked students whether they support the right of consenting adult couples to marry, regardless of sexuality.

On the first question students voted 51 to 48 percent in favor of becoming involved in the gay marriage case. On the second question 73 percent of undergraduates said sexuality should not be an issue in marrying.

1. More proof the the problem is ignorance, not "conservatism" or religion
Real conservatives and those who truly believe the "good parts" of religion understand that being "pro-family" and "pro-marriage" means embracing all families and all people.
