Keith Olbermann on Prop 8 and Gay Marriage

"If you voted for this Proposition or support those who did or the sentiment they expressed, I have some questions, because, truly, I do not... understand. Why does this matter to you? What is it to you? In a time of impermanence and fly-by-night relationships, these people over here want the same chance at permanence and happiness that is your option. They don't want to deny you yours. They don't want to take anything away from you. They want what you want -- a chance to be a little less alone in the world."

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann says this and more in this short clip that nearly brought me to tears (via Towleroad). I am so close to this issue that it seems I cannot even articulate all my emotions and thoughts. I wish every knucklehead who voted for Prop 8 would be forced to listen to this clip over and over and over until they begged for mercy.
