You are goiing to be seeing the SCOTUS striking them all down pretty soon now that precedent has been set by CA, MA, %26amp; CT. Re The anti-gay marriage amendments that are on the ballots of several states this year ?
I believe you are seeing the power of Democracy provided the LGBT people succeed in having their rights... It's unfortunate that more people do not recognize the fact that if 'government' can deny any particular group 'equal rights' they can also deny other groups of their 'equal rights' under the law... I would encourage anyone who has such strong anti-gay sentiments to think long and hard before they start the 'process' of denying others their 'equal rights'...lest they lose some of their own... It doesn't take too much of a stretch of imagination to understand the innumerable rights that may be denied given the past eight horrible years...


Let's say, for example, a particular religious sect becomes 'the majority'...let's say that majority is Muslim...what chance do you really think Christianity or Judaism will stand? Think about it...


Freedom and equal rights are for everyone...if one doesn't agree with that 'right', they do NOT have to participate in it... But...to deny it to anyone else because of their 'personal beliefs' is dead wrong...
This will give the conservatives another reason to go to the polls, while they are there they will vote for McCain. If it were not for gay marriage bringing conservatives to the polls in 2004, W would not have been able to edge out Kerry.
Ballot issues such as that are only designed to get the most bigoted and hateful end of the right in the polling booth. Those states do not even care about stuff like that. It is just a polling stunt.
No gay rights. No White rights. No black rights. No Hispanic rights. How about equal rights for all? It's already there. Use it!
IF and that is a big ';IF'; voter turn out is anything they are expecting the christian right will be in for a shock. That they no longer matter.......
