When will our officials grow a set of balls and tell these people to sit down and shut up? Oh wait a minute, I think I see the problem!
This is their name? Wow!

What idiots.
It's not "Big Brother." It's an annoying, pro-gay Special Interest Group with a purposefully confusing name!

"What we are about
The Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance seeks to defend equal marriage in this state by challenging the Washington Supreme Court’s ruling on Andersen v. King County. This decision, given in July 2006, declared that a “legitimate state interest” allows the Legislature to limit marriage to those couples able to have and raise children together. Because of this “legitimate state interest,” it is permissible to bar same-sex couples from legal marriage.
The way we are challenging Andersen is unusual: using the initiative, we are working to put the Court’s ruling into law. We will do this through three initiatives. The first would make procreation a requirement for legal marriage. The second would prohibit divorce or legal separation when there are children. The third would make the act of having a child together the legal equivalent of a marriage ceremony.
Absurd? Very. But there is a rational basis for this absurdity. By floating the initiatives, we hope to prompt discussion about the many misguided assumptions which make up the Andersen ruling. By getting the initiatives passed, we hope the Supreme Court will strike them down as unconstitional and thus weaken Andersen itself. And at the very least, it should be good fun to see the social conservatives who have long screamed that marriage exists for the sole purpose of procreation be forced to choke on their own rhetoric."
Why three years?
Nothing more than a hissy fit.
Washington State, Oregon, California all enjoy wonderful and peaceful trade with the Far East. The confucian (sp) way of life has really rubbed off on our peace loving liberals of the far west. Someone ought to tell them they are enjoying the peaceful life because we blasted Shinto Japan to hell. Somebody ought to remind them, stupid tools that they are.
You can count on one thing - a President Giuliani won't do anything to help out in this fight.
The fruits are getting snippy.
The nancy boys want us "breeders" to be required to have children, just to prove that they should be barred from marrying.
It's never ceases to amaze me how many Freepers have been worn down to the point that, although they know, deep down, that homosexual behavior is WRONG, they just shove the whole question aside by saying, "It's in their own bedroom, why should I care..."
I just believe that the actual measure of sanity should be a little higher than, "Can he, she, it get a driver's licence?"
Mainland China thrives in Washington State.

Yikes! These folks are off thier rockers.
The Pro-Queer Group has drafted 3 initiatives. This is one of 3. They hope to get the initiatives passed and then challenged by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court throws out these initiatives out followed by the Defense Marriage Act (one man one woman) which the Supreme Court upheld last year. It's a gimmick to further the queers agenda and get rid of the Defense Marriage Act. Hope it backfires on them.
What nonsense. How can we be expected to take these people seriously when they pull stunts like this?

I am speechless.
That will sure make the waiting line for a marriage license more interesting.
