Attorneys for a gay rights group told the Colorado Supreme Court that a proposed ballot measure that would bar gays from forming unions "similar to marriage" is ambiguous and violates the single-subject rule.
The measure under attack is sponsored by state Rep. Kevin Lund-berg, R-Berthoud, and former Colorado Springs car dealer Will Perkins. It says the government cannot "create or recognize a legal status similar to that of marriage" for gays.

In a brief filed Monday, Coloradans for Fairness and Equality argued that the measure's "key phrase - 'legal status similar to that of marriage' - is a cipher, but voters are not given the decoder ring."

"It's so vague that it means different things to different people," said Patrick Steadman, one of the lawyers who drafted the brief.

1. haven't we heard about people who shoot first and ask

questions later?

We by golly need better rhetoric - because this is essentially saying we agree so long as the wording is right.

They don't care so long as it riles people up with controversy to get to the polls and keep the current and future Colorado administrations republican.

It's just a means to an end, nothing personal you know. :shrug: Sociopaths.

Hey D, my beloved partner in all things went to Topeka with me on a field trip. We drove around the Westboro compound with a camera and filmed the entire block; nice houses, swimming pools, fences, God Hates America signs. Smirk. They LOVE fags. It's how they make their living. At the very least, they could care less. We're just a means to an end.

Maybe I should see if Canofun wants to post it?
