OLYMPIA, Wash. - An initiative filed by proponents of same-sex marriage would require heterosexual couples to have kids within three years or else have their marriage annulled.
Initiative 957 was filed by the Washington Defense of Marriage Alliance. That group was formed last summer after the state Supreme Court upheld Washington's ban on same-sex marriage.

Under the initiative, marriage would be limited to men and women who are able to have children. Couples would be required to prove they can have children in order to get a marriage license, and if they did not have children within three years, their marriage would be subject to annulment.
All other marriages would be defined as "unrecognized" and people in those marriages would be ineligible to receive any marriage benefits.
“For many years, social conservatives have claimed that marriage exists solely for the purpose of procreation ... The time has come for these conservatives to be dosed with their own medicine," said WA-DOMA organizer Gregory Gadow in a printed statement. “If same-sex couples should be barred from marriage because they can not have children together, it follows that all couples who cannot or will not have children together should equally be barred from marriage."
Supporters must gather more than 224,000 valid signatures by July 6 to put the initiative on the November ballot.
Opponents say the measure is another attack on traditional marriage, but supporters say the move is needed to have a discussion on the high court ruling.
Scratching my head ... now for that springtime road trip and fact finding mission to Idaho and Montana.
So who says gays don't hate straight people in general and women in particular?
Don't they just love calling straights "breeders"?
Gays hurl "breeder" as an insult. I don't think that it is.
Oh yes - I'm soooooo proud of my state.
By the way, if I wanted to, I could get an iniative started in the People's Republic of Washington to mandate that every new-born have the middle name of "Freeper".
Sayyyyy!
Wonder how the gay guys would like to have an initiative on the ballot that reqyures each one of them to use his penis for breeding purposes regulary or suffer amputation of the otherwise "useless" member.
My wife and I just adopted a new kitten. Does that count?
Gregory 'Goesdown' is just an uppity flamer looking to cause troubles for heteros any way he can.
Just wait. This will fail. This time.
But when President Hillary gets in and appoints HER judges, watch out.
I was trying to think of something to say ... but I think you've replied as succinctly as can be to this .... this ..... words fail me.
I'm down here in Louisiana, so I have to ask. Is there something in the mist that comes in off of the Pacific that infects people with liberalism and craziness? (Apparently you're okay though.)
Part of it may be the southerly winds that brings the Californians up here!
However, in my State's defense - OUR court did uphold OUR law that bans gay marriage.
Sounds like something Hitler would have come up with....
For a little laugh, check out the first few sentences of this article.
Now we know what a complete smokescreen that is...
Bring it on.
What the heck
We should just go back to making sodomy illegal.
Done by the marriage of the father (presumably) to the mother.
Religious busybodies are just as bad as liberals.
My apologies to my previous post. I misread the article.

This is so stupid, I would think the guy's head was in his arse, but I know that isn't true.....
I'm leaving Washington RIGHT now!
Ok, I'll be back in the morning...how about 7am?
Snicker.
Seriously I don't know what makes me laugh more. These moonbats walking this insanity out in public with a straight face, or the fact that it gets press coverage.
This brings to mind the look on Woody Allen's face in the movie where he portrays a sperm about to go on a "mission" and he suddenly opines he might be in the body of a homosexual.
I'd sure like to see Gadow provide a citation for that remark from any prominent conservative.
His basic premise is flawed beyond repair. He has no point.
Wow! This is almost as good as the time the MO state legislature outlawed sex in the state, including between married couples.
Boy, talk about human and civil rights violations written into a law... Woo Hoo!!!

So, married women cannot get abortions in Washington? That sounds strange... I thought liberals believe in a woman's right to chose. That right doesn't belong to married women?
Or what about married couples who are infertile? Would their marriages have to be annulled?
NOW, THAT is a great idea!
A few years back I was forced into one of those corporate sensitivity training torture sessions. An overtly gay QA tech was making remarks about being treated equal and our maintenance supervisor told him, "when I see a normal couple I can tell who is the wife and who is the husband. Why don't you share which role you play with your "other"? I'd like to be able to envision how you interact at home so you can relate to the rest of us."
The place just came apart at the seams. We didn't have any more training for a while.
We win again, my state is cutting edge progressive(Oregon 2nd?), man oh man, living here is like a carnival ride that you can't get off of. What great idea will be next, holding my breath, and I won't suffocate believe me!!!
The definition of "moonbat" broadens, and rightly so.
>>Gays hurl "breeder" as an insult. I don't think that it is.<<
And there is just part of their disconnect with reality. No breeding, no people.
Including homosexuals.
They're just jealous. ;)
Hear, hear!
Wow....gay facists...who didnt see that coming...
That's hilarious! I'll remember that in case I ever end up being "educated".
It took my wife and I fourteen long years to have our first child, a miracle baby boy.
Not that we did not try but some couples have a hard time conceiving. Some couples can't at all.
ROTFLOL! Did your supervisor keep his job after that?!
Arizona or Texas, m'self. Goal is 6/1/07.
Thanks, Evergreen State. It's been fun, it's been real, but it ain't been real fun.
I'll be celebrating my 40th birthday in a new place, with new friends and a new outlook on life.
Fellow Repubs should follow suit.
A couple of things....a court has ruled that it makes sense for the state to steer heterosexual couples into a special set-aside institution (marriage) BECAUSE they are procreative units, and BECAUSE the mother/father of a child are statistically its best caretakers.
A potentially procreative unit doesn't necessarily have children. They can have them at any unexpected time.
It makes no sense for the state ever to steer homosexual couples into a special set-aside institution because no one really cares that they know how to make each other orgasm. There is no state benefit in that; nor is there any potential; nor does it take much of a brain.
Don't apologize to your post, apologize to the "religious busybodies" you unjustly maligned!
They're trying to make a political point...they do not expect this to pass.

We are now officially off the deep end!
More and more I'm convinced that all of this is headed for civil war. God help us all.
Why isn't it Queer Marriage?
