If your marriage needs protecting, you have a LOT more to worry about than the gays...

1. Those are great.

I am hanging out here trying to forget what seems to be coming tonight after 7. Swigging Maalox. I may have to add that bumper sticker to my truck.

3. My Wife and I will have been happily married

31 years tomorrow (dig that crazy future tense sentence?) And not once have we considered anyone other than the two of us as the only people responsible for the success or failure of our marriage. Are we wacky liberals or what? Conservatives in Kansas, and whereever are fucking morons if they think two gays getting married will effect their marriage negatively. Brainwashing to the max. I emailed my relatives in Kansas last week telling them how to vote. I have not idea how they will.

Liberal Prayers for all liberal Kansans. God Bless ya.

5. You have been

very supportive. Thanks. May need some later tonight. We try and will eventually succeed but in the mean time this is going to stink.

6. Can the Supreme court over turn it?

I don't think people know what the bill really means to them and to our state


or our privacy

[MuseRider]

8. They do not know

I am certain of that from the phone banks. Sure, it can be overturned but in the meantime it will be horrible. I am not certain the procedure. I think we should band together with the other states that have this and work something up, see what we come up with. Gotta wait and see.

7. Funny how the party of "personal responsibility" cant apply it to marriage

[greenbriar]

11. so true

:sigh:

9. Here's Ohio

In November, my state passed a measure which defined marriage as only between 1 man and 1 woman, and that no other relationships could be considered legal marriages. (I'm sloppy with the language) So, a really sharp lawyer in the Cleveland area took aim at a domestic violence law which allows the victim to charge her abuser with more serious crimes. The law apparently has hazy language about what constitutes a "relationship" and has been used in the past to defend victims regardless of the status of a legal "marriage." Since his client wasn't legally married to the victim, the harsher domestic abuse law can't be used against him. This is wending its way around the state judicial system...but it's painfully ironic that OH looks stupid yet again. Only the legally married can be protected by a domestic violence law that was actually doing some good.

10. Ohio, Welcome to Kansas

The stupidist thing about the Kansas Anti-Gay Marriage Ammendment is that there ALREADY is a state law defining marriage as between one man and one woman. Sigh.
I think the Fundies in Ks. are taking the shotgun approach to any sort of coupling other than hetero marriage, because as the bill is written it will have the negative effect of banning "special rights" on hetero couples co-habitating out of wedlock.
It has been plain as day from the numerous taling heads on this issue that the operative drive behind this amendment is a social definition that is 100% christian.

Kansas - a flat state exporting a flat-world world view....
