You have won a ban on Same Sex Marriages and even a ban on Civil Unions. And yet you can't let domestic partners have this one small scrap from the table.Loki Motivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122682006556673938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342364914875572105.post-68723245458796380702009-08-22T06:45:03.086-05:002009-08-22T06:45:03.086-05:00I can't understand why people calling themselv...I can't understand why people calling themselves Christians work so hard to make life difficult for other people who are minding their own business.<br /><br />They also try to make life more difficult for the children being raised by gay couples.<br /><br />What exactly does this get you?<br /><br />The drive to control the lives of others completely mystifies me. Don't you have enough work to do raising your own families without pouring energy into tearing other families apart?Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07506509899464816022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342364914875572105.post-11596427716254909532009-08-21T22:35:37.502-05:002009-08-21T22:35:37.502-05:00Although a little vague, the amendment approved by...Although a little vague, the amendment approved by Wisconsin voters can be taken to prohibit recognition of Domestic Partnerships. The attorney general's actions appear to be a bit of pandering, since it doesn't make any sense to either side to try to prevent the state Supreme Court from clarifying whether Domestic Partnership is "substanially similar" to marriage, as the amendment implies.<br /><br />I would agree with DanBack that the Equal Protection clause of the US Constitution would appear to support same-sex marriage. But that has not yet been decided by the US Supreme Court --- a case about that is just getting started, and nobody's taking bets on the outcome.Non-Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480967648669777010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342364914875572105.post-86069975543780013042009-08-21T22:09:42.838-05:002009-08-21T22:09:42.838-05:00Equal protection under the law.

I'm sure if you put equal rights for blacks to a vote in Alabama in 1950 the majority wouldn't have been for it either.DanBackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16365782450039434389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6342364914875572105.post-74758036356219383662009-08-21T20:07:15.014-05:002009-08-21T20:07:15.014-05:00I am ashamed that this man represents our state.I am ashamed that this man represents our state.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506243405553652318noreply@blogger.com
