Doc does point to the unintended consequence that, once granted marital "legitimacy", gay unions will be subject to all the legal costs and losses associated with heterosexual divorce—whereas before, in the closet, there was no legal cost to hittin' the road.

well. Mr. Deliverance I know a couple of gals that married each other 11 years ago and they're going strong. The gals down the street have been married for 4 years. I know this is contrary to your experience, but it's a big world out there.

Let em marry. They'll stay with each other for the most part and stop prowling the streets. Hell, some of em figure out how to get married any way.

MY RESPONSE TO THOSE FREEPERS WHO OPPOSE HJR 56...

First and foremost this is NOT petty... it is critical in this day and age that we RE-AFFIRM our MORAL foundation. I AGREE with those opponents who are concerned that the U.S. Constitution should not have to be this SPECIFIC, ....HOWEVER, our JUSTICE system has failed us miserably... by equating a union of two people of the same sex to MARIAGE....

this is a HUGE step in destroying the MORAL foundation of our laws.

I believe that by NOT passing this ammendment the effect will be exactly what some opponenets fear will occur if we DO pass it......

IMHO, it will encourage leftists to try to put their own crap into our laws using the judiciary, and taking advantage of its failure to ensure decisions are grounded in MORALITY........

This Ammendment will send the message LOUD AND CLEAR to our JUDICIARY that we WANT them to make decisions that are grounded in MORALITY and if they don't know what that is then WE THE PEOPLE will have to explain it to them in the CONSTITUTION!!!

I think many people agree with decisions grounded in morality. Now whose morality is that when it comes to deciding marraige and who determines who gets to decide. Remember majority can't hold it over minority.

I think you meant TO ground. As far as I can tell most of our laws have a basis in morality. The issue is why should everthing you consider to be immoral be illegal. Does that include taking false Gods, taking God's name in vane, coveting, adultery?
