Thread Name: BS: About Same-Sex Marriage
Subject: RE: BS: About Same-Sex Marriage
Actually Guest from NW, I tried pointing out quite some time ago in the thread that the constitutional amendment wasn't about sex, but about rights to the benefits and entitlements of the nation's citizenry, but everyone here proved us both wrong.
The current proposed constitutional amendment is ONLY about gay sex, because that is what the Republican party and fundamentalist Christians want the debate to be about.
Looks like they will win this one, hands down. The more people talk about gay sex, they never quite get around to talking about equal protection under the law, the wisdom of trying to amend the constitution to mandate personal behavior rather than limit government power, etc.
The Republicans and their Taliban wing one this one, hands down.
