The Minnesota Marriage Protection Amendment simply preserves our current, timeless definition of marriage in our state Constitution, recognizing that kids do best when raised by their married mother and father. The amendment also honors what most Minnesotans understand to be true -- that marriage is about more than just the desires of adults who want to commit themselves to each other. Children are also an integral and indispensable part of the marital relationship.

If you are in Maryland, vote no.

Maryland’s marriage question is posed as a pro-gay marriage amendment, with a proviso for religious conscience. But once the gay marriage becomes official, watch for the religious persecutions and school indoctrinations to flourish in so many places it will be impossible to contain them.

See Massachusetts for an example, where since the passage of gay marriage, young kids now have GBLT proms “chaperoned” by adult GBLT’s — just there to keep the kids out of trouble. Oh, right.

I am concerned about this not passing in MN. If one decides NOT to vote for the amendment, it is counted as a “NO” vote. I know some people don’t want to vote on this amendment at all, but if they leave it blank, they are voting “no”. UGH.

The Homosexual Lobby has sunk a LOT of $$ here to defeat this amendment. They see Minnesota as their foothold in this nationwide battle.

We have a “Vote Yes” sign in our yard and just know that it won’t stay there for long—leftists can’t stand differing opinions. This is why we have a spare in our garage. ;^)

The only reason for government social contracts is for Justice (protect private property) and is to facilitate human beings into doing their most fundamental “Duty”-—so mankind will flourish and can pursue happiness.

Taking all responsibility for one’s biological offspring IS the most fundamental duty of mankind. Only a marriage between a man and woman can provide a system where ALL mankind can do their primary duty—which doesn’t separate the emotional and material world.

When you destroy that system-—you make human beings into objects for sell or whatever. Any other system is evil which is artificial and unnatural. It deprives human beings of their biological and genetic histories—that which helps make life meaningful—both past and the future. It deprives children of their natural rights to their biological parents—importance of genetic connection for mental health is established.

Denial of their biological rights makes children no different than property to be sold or traded. It is inhumane.

The battle against gay marriage is another facet of a larger battle:

The no side is out advertising the yes side about 50 to 1 (in my unscientific observation.

The no ads are all so awful it’s hard to pick my favorite but there’s one with an angry white guy saying through clenched teeth that GOVERNMENT doesn’t tell you who to love so GOVERNMENT shouldn’t tell you who you can marry.

There are about 10 classic fallacies in that one.
