"The Other Guy Counts Too"

Steven Colbert's heartfelt comment on the passage of Proposition 8 in California.



Excerpts:

"With so much hate in the world: with so much meaningless division and people pitted against each other for no good reason - is this what your religion tells you to do?"

"Let the tiny ember of love meet its fate. You are asked to stand not on a question of politics, not on a question of religion, not on a question of gay or straight. You are asked to stand on a question of love."

"This is the only world we have. And the other guy counts too."

“So I be written in the book of love. I do not care about that book above. Erase my name or write it as you will. So I be written in the book of love – Omar Khayyam."
