Gay marriage opponents seek to reverse new law
Oh well, the gay marriage debate is not over in MA after all
Gay marriage opponents seek to reverse new law
BOSTON - The gay marriage fight in Massachusetts might not be over after all.
Opponents of same-sex marriages are seeking a ballot question that would prevent gay and lesbian couples from getting married here if their union wouldn't be legal in their home state.
Brian Camenker of the group Mass Resistance said Friday lawmakers and Gov. Deval Patrick bowed to the will of the "gay lobby" last month by approving the repeal of a 1913 statute that banned such marriages.
Patrick, the state's first black governor and the father of a daughter who recently announced she's a lesbian, said the 1913 law had racial undertones from a period when interracial marriage was discouraged.
"The Legislature and the governor changed our marriage laws to please the well-connected minority and force a social experiment into other states that's very offensive to a majority of the people, at least the way the votes have been going," Camenker said, referring to recent votes in favor of gay marriage bans in other states.

I escaped to upstate NY. It was actually far better than Mass, which is not only liberal but a Police State as well. Then I escaped there after 11 years, and moved to NC.

Re: Gay marriage opponents seek to reverse new law
I'd still wager that if put to public vote, the homo marriage law would lose.
It's always the activist liberals that force this sick shit on people. A minority forcing it's immoral agenda down the throats of normal people.
"Civil War."

That is why the left wants a law created

Re: Gay marriage opponents seek to reverse new law
All I can figure is somebody is asleep at the wheel, to let the minority keep pushing it's agenda off on the majority. It isn't supposed to work that way. The majority better wake the fuck up is all I have to say.red states rule wrote:Pale Rider wrote:I'd still wager that if put to public vote, the homo marriage law would lose.

And the shame is they so often get away with it. I wish the damn silent majority would become the FUROSIOUS, OUTSPOKEN, MILITANT, DOMINANT majority instead, then we wouldn't have all this bull shit like faggots marrying and the like.
