Amendment Targets Gay Marriage in Massachusetts

News:

This week, Massachusetts lawmakers will consider a constitutional amendment intended to roll back the state’s law, unique in the country, which allows same-sex couples to wed. The initiative has been championed by Republican governor Mitt Romney, said to considering a presidential bid, and several of the state’s high-ranking Catholic officials. The bishops have rejected criticism of the amendment as discriminatory, saying same-sex couples are suffering from “an exaggerated sense of entitlement” in believing they deserve the same rights as other American citizens. 165 prominent business and civic leaders, including the mayor of Boston, have taken out an ad in Boston papers urging the state legislature to reject the amendment.

they all will

I can no longer waste time on here trying to defend our civil rights and hoping to awaken compassion and respect. It's pointless. No matter what we do or say, the retards will continue to focus on things that don't amount to squat.. you know.. like this 'issue' and all that flag-burning that's been happening. And while they're distracting the uneducated voters with those wedge issues, they'll continue to defy the law and worm their way into our private lives. None of them can answer the question about how gays marrying effects them. You can't debate people who have no common sense. The best thing to do is vote.
