"And how many states have now passed laws stating that marriage is between a man and a woman?"Don't you know?
WHY don't you know?
"In all, 37 states and the federal government have Defense of Marriage acts that say marriage can only be between a man and a woman." "Ohio may soon become the 38th state; its Senate approved one of the most far-reaching gay marriage bans in the nation Wednesday, making only minor changes in a House-passed version. Going further than the laws in most states, Ohio's bill also would prohibit state employees from getting benefits for domestic partners, whether gay or straight."
"Proposed constitutional amendments that would ban gay marriage have been introduced in Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Michigan; one is expected soon in Alabama. An Idaho Republican, Rep. Henry Kulczyk, plans to introduce a similar measure there, to the dismay of some Democrats." -- Source
If this issue is of such monumental importance to you, why didn't you know the answer to your question?
Better yet, why didn't you take the ten seconds it took me to find the answer?
If this issue is of such monumental importance to you, why didn't you know the answer to your question?Because the number is changing all the time. I thought I read it had reached 38 but that may have been about yet another state that would have to pass a law insure that sanity would prevail.
Anyway, I've been debating reality with some of the pro-homo cheerleaders here on FR for some time now and they'll crow as if they've proved something if you mistake a fact by even the smallest of margins, even if that margin of error doesn't gain them a thing. Because of this, I did not want to go on record with a number until I had the time to check.
Better yet, why didn't you take the ten seconds it took me to find the answer?
Because I had to leave during the last discussion and did not have the time to perform as rigorous a search as I would normally insist upon before stating a number as a fact.
But thanks for asking!
