Sorry Tripper, everywhere in America that gay marriage has been put to a vote it has been defeated. Even in MA the vote said no gay marriage. A judge threw out the law. Here in KS the vote was 70% for the ban and 29% were against.[url=http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/04/06/kansas.gaymarriage.ap/:f6586]LINK[/url:f6586]

"All these state amendments are going to be struck down by federal judges," said Matt Daniels, president of the Alliance for Marriage. "We're in a race now -- in a race between the democratic process in Kansas and other states and the federal courts."

It's interesting what Mr Daniels says here because he admits that his group is trying to circumvent the voting process by using activist judges.
