Anti-gay Republicans-go figure!
you gotta love that big tent!
The Florida Republican Party is the driving force behind an organization claiming to be a grassroots initiative to gather signatures to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage according to a published report.
An investigation by the St. Petersburg Times into funding for the Florida4Marriage has found that of the $193,000 that has been raised by the group $150,000 came from a single donator - the Florida Republican Party.
The paper says that the donation was made in a single check on Nov. 25.
"It certainly was helpful," Florida4Marriage chair John Stemberger tells the Times
Full Version: Florida GOP Bankrolling Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment
they need to read this book: "What God Has Joined Together? : A Christian Case for Gay Marriage"
the authors point out that all families would be strengthened by allowing gay marriage. companies would no longer be required to offer domestic partner benefits, even to straight couples. all who wish to take advantage of marriage benefits would have to in fact, get married and stay married.
are we surprised that the GOP funded this? they're afraid of what? that gay people can screw up marriage worse than straight people?

I wonder if Jim West is down there now helping. wink How typical of the GOP. Can't you feel the compassion?

I have great respect for true conservatives--anyone who believes in less government intrusion EVERYWHERE
but this country hasn't seen one of those conservatives since Barry Goldwater died
the social conservatives want government intrusion into all aspects of a person's life and this is a great example
how many marriages have those evil gays in Mass destroyed since they've been given the right to marry
haven't heard of a single one

This is so simple. Fine, outlaw gay marriage. But in turn, outlaw hetero divorce. I honestly can't think of a bigger threat to marriage than divorce. Worry not, it'll never happen. Hypocrites hate logic.
It looks like the GOP in Virginia isn't far behind. Because you know, those (we) homosexuals a'unioning are just going to destroy the Old Dominion, yes sirree.
