Breaking News: Our Moral Leader Stops Gay Marriage — Page 2

Damn you guys would do such a great job. Can a woman be a flower girl?

Ha ha.
Cute.

rlbgbc - I've had exactly the same feeling. It's really starting to freak me out. What with this and the Mel Gibson Passion thing, it's getting to be a bit scary.

Very scary business. All of it.

Following is a link to a grass roots organization which might have activities going on in everyone's respective communities. No matter what the reason for us being put in this situation right now, RobbieJ is dead-on that it is no time to be silent.

For those uninformed, we here in Georgia are facing this on a State-wide level as well. The SR 595 Georgia Marriage
Constitutional Amendment was passed by the Senate on Monday and now is in process of going to the House for consideration. If this legislation squeezes through the House with a 2/3rds majority, the Constitutional Amendment will be on the November 2nd General Election Ballot. This resolution would effectively codify discrimination in the Georgia constitution.

Prior to Valentine's Day, while trying to encourage a good friend to join me for a rally at the State Capitol, I was met with the response," I am not that invested in gay marriage." These words coming from someone I love dearly.....who has been in a loving yet legally unprotected relationship for SEVEN years shocked me...especially understanding the family dynamics behind both individuals that make up this couple (were something to happen to either, you can bet the other's families would see fit that the living partner would have zero rights). Sadly, I think a lot of G/L/B/T's are looking at the issue in this same self-serving way. Whether you have the 'personal investment' or not, you damn sure should have the option.

P.S.- If anyone here happens to be in the ATL area and would like updates on rallies/community events in regards to SR 595 feel free to hit me up with a private message.
Don't Amend!

orion59 - Didn't we already endure that in the 80s with the AIDS crisis? I think the government is clinging to the one last minority group they can legally bully. The laws against races, religious groups and women now protect them (as long as they're hetero), so they need a group to pick on to feel superior.

Darn...I was hoping papalovesmambo would take me up on the offer

erik, ya know i luvs ya, but i go to d.c. at my own risk as the secret service will meet me at the airport, or bus station, or train depot, or on 395. i may be a fan, but the volume of email traffic i send out to people in power has me on more watchlists than a saudi pilot.

I'll be happy to offer my services in a suitable role...mother of the groom, perhaps?

Master that is killer thank you for making me smile and laugh out loud.

I know I'm late but...

HATE HIM HATE HIM HATE HIM

the general rule used to be 40 right 40 left 20 independant, but i think it's down to 45/45/10 or so with the way the country's so evenly divided. i think that this has been something that bush was planning to do in his 2nd term if he had one, but the mass. and san fran stuff pushed him to do it now. i mean the state of the union was a warning, back off or we'll go for an amendment. well, they called his bluff and now he's got to put up or shut up. if he does nothing he gets pillioried on the right and you see a right wing nader like that bozo 10 commandments judge who's already talking about running.

i'll be interested to see if they go with the musgrave language as it's so freakin' vague. if they're gonna make an amendment they need better wording than that. also, will you see bush make a statement regarding federal rights and civil unions?

now not for nothing, but al q's # 2 guy just issued a big ol' fat statement saying "hey, gw, lock up yer daughters cuz we're sending the suicide rapists yer way, and while yer at it ya better lock up babs too because these guys are not picky at all and kinda like the whole white curls look." now 'splain it to me oh bastions of conspiracy: is al qaeda trying to make bush look good or was this message that was broadcast on al jazeera ginned up by the boys in the basement at langley?
