Florida protected marriage yesterday. Its rare to find 62% agreement on anything in our society. Yet on marriage, the voters said YES!

And this is where this is very different from CA in that the FL court had not ruled on the marriage issue.

Florida voters inserted into the state constitution a ban on same-sex marriage, narrowly passing Amendment 2 in Tuesday's election.

Narrowly passing? I'm confused here, how does "narrowly passing" and 62% exist in the same article?

I give the courts about 10 minutes to pop this bubble.

What is disgusting is the way the LameStream Media in Florida is reporting the story...saying it “barely” passed...in Florida, amendments must get 60%...before 2006, it was a mere 51%.

So they’re playing like it made it by the thinnest of popular sentiment. Nevertheless, it IS in the state constitution, and the pukes in the media and the courts cannot stop it. :)

There is a silver lining in every cloud.

The Liberal Messiah, with the help of His rubber stamp Congress, will repeal the federal DOMA. Once that happens, gay couples will go to the People’s Republic of Kennedy to get married and then go to their home States to demand full faith and credit. Then our judicial overlords can overrules the People again.

The homosexual fundamentalists got bitch-slapped in Florida.
