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/:4428e]LINK[/url:4428e]
"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. |
Whatever, I was just trying to point out that it's not only gays that generally support their cause...I.e, down here we passed the civil union bill, pretty much the majority of our Labour party (equivelent of democrats - liberal), which are currently in power voted yes on it. Doesn't mean they're all gay.
I'm sure where ever you people are from, they'd vote against it.
