I don't care if they allow the previous "marriages" to stand because the breakup rate among homos is so high that most of the phony marriages will be gone in a few years with no new ones to replace them.

I DO care, because then you will have the Constitutional perversion: Only the marriage of a man and a woman is recognized in this state and then having the "marriage" of something other than a man and a woman being recognized. Yes, these relationships break up much sooner, except for many lesbians, who are often so awfully homely or grotesque no one else would have them.

The "marriages" that do exist will be leveraged heavily by the gaystapo legal groups who will push ever button and pull every lever in an attempt to show that these existences of homo-"marriage" in the state must be recognized universally. Even if these relationships fail, the well-funded homo lobby will support the charade of their continuing "marriage" with money to use as a tool to further their perverted cause.

The voters who passed this amendment knew the essence of what they were voting for: No same-sex "marriage" in their state. That is exactly what they should get.

I am one of those voters and I say the existing marriages don't count. Grandfather laws are BS. The marriages exist now and they will stay in effect until they are dissolved, which they will be, it is just a matter of time. A person can get so wrapped up in their ideals they fail to see the big picture and people like you are.

I'm not so sure you didn't contradict yourself. You're saying you don't think the grandfathered "marriages" are valid, but then say they will stay in effect until dissolved? I agree with you on your first points, but it's not being overly "wrapped up in ideals" to see the obvious implications if these "marriages" are allowed to remain legal. I believe I'm seeing the big picture - the one planned by the homo-activists.

“Tolerance,” indeed.

Ref. my tagline.
