Appearing for the supporters of Prop 8, Kenneth Starr, the former Whitewater prosecutor, said the people hold the right to modify the state constitution by adding or subtracting protections for civil rights.

None...but "rights" aren't the real agenda for militant gays.

"Nah...lies about rates of divorce were tossed into a discussion about marriage to add some additional fearmongering/distortions, etc."

Why "fix" anything?


Civil unions are not equal, marrige is equal.


The Iowa Supreme court got it right.


Sadly, even the marriages that will start soon in Iowa will not be equal yet either. We'll have to wait until the USSC does it's job.

Are you a militant gay?


Because unless you are, you can't define what "they' want.


I've seen no militant gays on this board.

>>What rights are lacking in a 'civil union'? Can't that be fixed?<<


Its a very easy fix, as several states have shown.

Shhhhhh...yeth...I'm under cover. ; )

>>> Because unless you are, you can't define what "they' want.

Actually, you can define what they want because they tell you. LOL!

>>> I've seen no militant gays on this board. I do see supporters of equality, both gay and straight.

Nah...supporters of equality would be seeking...er...equality...which can be found in civil unions. What the militants want is social sanction and "respect"...and don't mind shoving their agenda down the throats of society and others who might otherwise support them.

See? "Rights" was never the agenda...it's just the facade.

California got it right...and other states...most states...will follow suit. The people won't stand for liberal judges trying to silence them and create laws from the bench.
