We need to dissolve marriage altogether. I am in strong favor of a civil union rather than a marriage.

I am so glad that my father, a Justice of the Peace, married me and not a minister. I just wish it had been legally defined as a civil union rather than a marriage. Suck on that invisible-friend-believing-in, backwater, inbred, carpenter-worshiping lemmings! - not that there’s anything wrong with that…
Separation of church and state… Humbug.

That is one reason I am having trouble voting for Bush. He can really be an idiot.

I too am a registered Indiana voter, and I will be making my voice heard!

Michelangelo Signorile, a well-known gay journalist quoted a White House spokesman in his recent column (found at http://www.prospect.org/webfeatures/2004/02/signorile-m-02-25.html )

“So how does gay marriage weaken society, in the president’s view?” asked a reporter of White House spokesman Scott McClellan at the White House press briefing.

McClellan: “Well, this goes to the issue of an institution that is enduring and lasting. The president said in his remarks that this is the most fundamental institution in our civilization ? .”

Reporter: “But, specifically, how does allow — how does allowing gay marriage, allowing two people of the same sex to marry, how does that weaken our society?”

McClellan: “It’s a strong value of our society. It’s a strong value of our civilization. And we should protect and defend those kinds of enduring institutions in our society.”

The grilling went on for quite a while, with McClellan not able to come up with anything less feeble than that. The president hadn’t done any better in his briefing. “If we are to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever, our nation must enact a constitutional amendment to protect marriage in America,” Bush said.

It sounds like the proponents of this amendment don’t know why they to enact it. I guess they can’t just come out and say “Because they’re FAGS and DYKES!”
