A Public Service Announcement!

Jul 13, 2004 23:42

If you're an American who opposes the Federal Marriage Amendment, please call or write to senators NOW! We need to make our voices heard! Remember, the Federal Marriage Amendment would be the first amendment to restrict rights. It is just wrong that a proposed amendment to the Constitution would violate another part of the same document, the 14th ( Read more... )

It's funny that you wrote this. I just saw a "Speech" by Santorum about this on cspan2. He's a lost cause.

Hm, well I agree with the basic point of the amendment, though I think it's sad it's come to this when the definition of marriage is clearly defined as a heterosexual union. I'm personally not all that keen on these civil unions, though I can't exactly oppose them, and in any case, it's not breaking the very definition of what it is ( ... )

A minefield, that's an apt term for it. There are so many issues that will never smooth out, and gay rights will probably be one of them. Things are going to just get uglier in the US as the election draws near...on both sides. We'll just have to see what happens.
