My advice to gay marriage advocates. Let the courts decide, because everytime you put it on the ballot its gone down in flames, see Maine, California, and all the states that voted on it in 2004.
I'm not advocating one way or the other, just stating the facts.
LOL they don't choose to put it on the ballots. LMAO. You actually think they want it on the ballot?
This is true. It was only on the ballot because the same bigots who whine about judges legislating from the bench whined again when the legislature actually wrote and passed the law. If the legislature had planned ahead a little bit they could have timed it so any challenge would have ended up on last year's ballot. Then we'd be applauding the voters of Maine for upholding human rights instead of shaking our heads in disbelief because people couldn't be bothered to show up in an off-year election.
Well, it's not like we're not talking about abolishing slavery or anything. I support the pro-gay marriage people and all, but it's really not a big deal compared to other problems.
Well, if you grew up with everybody telling you being gay was a sin, what would you believe?
Look, it's not convenient to vote in an off year election with no statewide offices for election and in the winter in Maine. So, no, it's not really a "tragedy". I'm sure there was low gay turnout as well.
I'm talking about in general that it's a tragedy. Maybe I don't understand since I wasn't raised to look down on gays. But I believe it's an injustice that desperately needs to be corrected.
It should have been upheld this year in Maine.
It should have been upheld last year in California.
Bottom line, how do people vote against human rights? It's just incomprehensible to me.
