You may be right if you had said that Mr. Henry would not have liked gay marriage but I think you sell him short when you think he would have voted against it. I don't think that Mr. Henry would have ever allowed the rights of his fellow man to come to a vote. He would have said that we have our rights not because of the will of the majority but because we were born with them and they are ours and cannot be taken away by the will of the people. The fact that taking away rights of people was on the ballot at all and is even being considered as a constitutional amendment is just an indication of how little regarded American values are held in this day. Mr. Henry would be appauled. I am not sure he would think much of you either.
