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?

People aren't voting "against human rights", they are voting not to change the definition of marriage.   Human rights aren't on the ballot, a word in the dictionary is.

Actually they are voting to change it since the status quo was gay marriage.

No, they are simply restoring the status quo.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Yes it does, considering the brevity of the period in which said marriages were legal.

Do you know what status quo means?

Yes. And I don't view it as immediate, similar to the difference between "velocity" and "relative velocity."
