Stop celebrating gay marriage, please

OK, the Supreme Court ruled that gays can legally marry.

How long do we, those who oppose it, have to watch their celebration, read about it and look at that stupid rainbow?

Do we have to view this every day for who knows how long? Get over it!

When do “normal” people get their voices heard? Is it only the people who are different that get the attention from the media?

The way this country is going, I am glad that I am in the the twilight of my life, but I feel sorry for my grandchildren. I can’t imagine what this nation will be like when they become adults.

Richard Owen, Visalia
