An organization for homosexual activists filed a petition yesterday to try to stop the citizens from voting on the issue of marriage.
Although the “Protection of Marriage Amendment” was approved for the ballot last month by Atty. Gen. Tom Reilly, the Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) appealed to the state’s Supreme Court (SJC) to overrule his decision.
“This is another attempt to stop the citizens from voting because these activists know they will lose if the people decide,” said Bryan Rudnick, Chairman of Citizens for Marriage.
“They hope they can get this through the seven members of the court or through the legislature without the people even knowing what is happening. We now have three years to thoroughly debate this issue before it goes on the ballot in 2004. That is democracy in action, but these people want to avoid that.”
Rudnick said that GLAD could have waited to see whether the backers of the Amendment obtain over 65,000 signatures as required before the end of November before appealing the Attorney General’s decision. They could have appealed many months or even years from now.
“They know that the people favor the Amendment and we will get the signatures. We appreciate their show of confidence in our efforts,” said Rudnick.
You say it like it is a bad thing.
"FReepers we disagree with ": that's a PC term. Yeesh, the hall monitors have been mind-washed!
Not all moral positions are equal, and "pro-perversion" is a fact-based and informative label, for there are indeed, preversions, and they are not just mere disagreements.
Sidebar Moderator, I thought you had to be kidding. I can’t believe we have “new” language restrictions on certain factual words that may offend, sorry some behaviors are offensive.
per·ver·sion: an aberrant sexual practice especially when habitual and preferred to normal coitus
Many of those that practice perversion, even here on FR, readily admit that’s what they do, see definition! Therefor those who are in favor if its promotion are indeed “pro-perversion”. Those who practice perversion are perverts by definition, is that not an OK description? And, the aberrant sexual act they prefer is “sodomy”. I suppose those who want to raise same-sex sodomy to the same equivalent, as coitus between normal man/woman relationship, can’t be called “pro-sodomy” either?
It’s OK though if members like Ruggers, OWK, sakic, bluester, et al are allowed to Christian bash with impunity? It’s OK when we are erroneously called bigots and homophobes when the definitions of these words don’t factually describe our posts or disposition? Are we now forced to use made-up PC words like ”gay” and “homosexual”, words created to divert the accurate description of their filthy behavior? Just let us know if FR is now PC and we’ll be happy to change our verbiage to reflect whatever facade you want to put on FR.
Do you have documentation on that? Contrary to what logic MIGHT tell you, lesbians also have shorter life spans and many have STDs, including AIDS.
Those were the days before Gay Rights for Dogs (sigh).
