Unfortunately, lobbyists on the Right-Wingnut side had to spend millions of dollars of out of state money to twist the vote their way. Not that our side didn't spend money either, we did. But unfortunately, these "questions" are just fodder for Conservative/Republican based "grass roots" groups to wage war against any way of life not their own. It is a shame that we didn't fight hard enough and allowed them to win. We won't be fooled again. We can overturn this, and should try every means possible to do it. Also unfortunate is that now that the dark side has won, they will try to do the same thing in every state. It looks like NH is targeted for next on the agenda. <br />If you haven't seen it, take a look at Betty Bowers take on Marriage in the Biblical Sense at the No Sin Zone (http://bettybowers.com/betty4president/?p=151).

I hope you and your partner have a fantastic 23rd anniversary.<br /><br />Beth, I knew you would agree, thank you.

It's something that can make a grown man cry (well, me anyway). And then there's the annger too. How dare they (would like to get to the root of who 'they' are) take away an equal right of a group of people! <br /><br />I also agree too that I don't think religion has anything to do with same sex marriage, and I wouldn't want a "church" wedding. If a couple attends a church, such as MCC, then that is different--their wedding would be welcomed there, just like their Sunday attendance.<br /><br />My partner and I are coming up on our 23rd anniversary in a few weeks. How many years do people like us have to be together to prove to others that we deserve equal rights under the law. Makes me think of that saying 'how many licks does it take'?Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514919047169081546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263715199313458076.post-90006295147478379412009-11-05T15:30:08.804-05:002009-11-05T15:30:08.804-05:00That was one of the most intelligent and well-argu...That was one of the most intelligent and well-argued "rants" I've ever read.<br /><br />I hope you heard the shouts of "Amen!" and "Sing it, Sister!" all the way in DE, because I was yelling them here in NYC while reading this.<br /><br />XOXOXOXODavid Dusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348019814971057479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263715199313458076.post-49230833195432583462009-11-05T15:09:17.814-05:002009-11-05T15:09:17.814-05:00great post, Howardgreat post, HowardWonder Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723949771552274515noreply@blogger.com
