Gay Democrats want marital history of GOP legislators
Claiming divorce -- not same-sex unions -- is undermining the sanctity of marriage, a group of gay Democrats on Monday asked state GOP Chairman Jim Kittle to identify Republican legislators who have been divorced.
The request comes as House Republicans are attempting to force a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The amendment -- which Republicans last week called "the most important issue we're dealing with this session" -- was approved by the Senate but has been stalled in the House by Democratic leadership. "We think it is fair to ask during this debate how many legislators who are demonizing gay marriage have actually committed the most grievous possible injury to the institution they claim to want to protect," said Linda Perdue, president of the Indiana Stonewall Democrats. http://www.indystar.com/articles/3/123589-3253-092.html Fucking hypocritical Republicans. |

Isn't "sanctity" a spiritual issue and therefore in the realm of religion to decide and not the government?

who the fuck cares if gay people get married. fuck. i say good for them. they want to commit to each other and be manogamous (sp?) let them go. why does the government feel the calling to defend the sanctitty of marriage?
didn't the founding fathers want this to be a government that did not make moral laws? |
hahahaha, the Republicans are getting owned by a bunch of gays. American politics is a joke and god damn, it's a funny one. I wonder what Cheney has to say about this sham of an election year issue? Seeing as his daughter is gay and all.

Dems Slam Bush Over Gay-Marriage Ban "By endorsing this shameful proposal, President Bush will go down in history as the first president to try to write bias back into the Constitution." -Ted Kennedy Democrats do not support a constitutional amendment banning gay marriages. Simple enough for you to understand yet? I don't actually have to get Rush Limbaugh to call your house and explain it to you do I? |
