Marriage amendments passed in all three states in which it was on the ballot. The citizens of Florida, Arizona and California all agree that marriage should be exclusively defined as the union of one man and one woman. This brings the total to 30 states that have now amended their state constitutions to protect marriage.

The decision in California unwinds an earlier State Supreme Court decision which ordered the state to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Activist courts in Massachusetts and Connecticut have also imposed same-sex ‘marriage’ upon the citizens of their states.

Efforts to pass a bill which would allow the citizens of Minnesota to vote on a marriage amendment have been repeatedly defeated in the DFL-controlled state legislature. This has left Minnesota vulnerable to an attempt to legalize same-sex 'marriage' through the courts or a renegade legislature.

Didn't marriage originate from the bible? This is such a selfish, self-pity, sacrilegious request of those that prefer immoral sex and even to bring it to the public's attention. Totally against the will of God.

Why don't gays and lesbians push for civil unions instead? It seems that would be the path of least resistance if they really just want the same legal rights as married couples. ( One poll showed 85% of republicans would vote yes for civil unions). I fear that the reason may be that if gay/lesbian marriage were made legal, it would leave churches etc vulnerable to lawsuits forcing them to marry gays and lesbians.

Founder's Quote of the Week

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that 'all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.' To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition." --Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank, 1791
