Gay Apocalypse Now
http://www.alternet.org/print.html?StoryID=17017
“We are committed to using every tool at our disposal to ensure that marriage
in America remains exclusively one man and one woman,” said Tony Perkins of
the Family Research Council, a right-wing political lobbying group. Perkins
has friends in high places, like Congress and the White House.
A Constitutional amendment banning legal recognition of gay relationships,
including marriage, civil unions and domestic partnerships has the support of
90 members of Congress, with more signing on every month. Never mind that it
would be the first time in U.S. history the Constitution would be changed to
deny rights to a specific group of people.
In California, the new domestic partnership benefits signed into law by
outgoing Governor Davis already face two lawsuits and a possible referendum
to stop them. And anti-gay marriage laws are being proposed in cities and
states across the country. In places where these laws have already passed,
new laws are being proposed to “strengthen” the old ones. There is indeed
blood in the water.

This is disgusting. Its a flagrant attempt to circumvent the protections of the
first, ninth, and tenth amendments. The real question is will most people care
enough to stop it. Further proof that our government will take away as many
rights as they think they can get away with. Sickening.
