These headlines are misleading, but we are getting closer to this Civil Unions amendment.

Still one more vote ahead. That's the one that counts. Every success up to this point has included the support of people opposed to the amendment that voted for it as a parliamentary maneuver.

I predict it will pass, but we do not know yet.

Christ doesn't like homosexuality, either... something about an abomination.

[onedoug]

...would ban gay marriage and legalize it....

How very Kerryesque.

[B Knotts]

What's the difference? Only the name has been changed.

"A 'gay marriage' by any other name would smell as foul."

[aimhigh]

Has anyone noticed how society just got blackmailed? Give the gays "civil unions" or they will get married. They shouldn't have either.

[jimt]

Apparently they've forgotten "Go and sin no more."

[Blood of Tyrants]

The revised version adopted Monday would ask voters to simultaneously ban gay marriage and legalize civil unions — rather than taking those steps separately.

So much for allowing the people to decide on what they want.

"I don't know what the Massachusetts Legislature thinks it's doing by trying to amend the State's Constitution, don't they know I'm trying to run for President."

The only thing holding Kerry back from joining the ranks of Rosie is John Heinz's millions.

"I think my Christian brothers and sisters need to understand tolerance," Carreno said. "They need to understand that Jesus never said anything bad against a homosexual."

He didn't say anything about sex with beasts either.

[Unam Sanctam]

Christ does not discriminate.

Christ did NOT say that any behavior whatsover is moral and acceptable. He taught the woman caught in adultery to go and sin no more.

[DameAutour]

Jesus Christ condemned ALL fornication, which is every kind of unlawful intercourse. He didn't explictly mention bestiality or incest either. But he did condemn fornication,

"19 For example, out of the heart come wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, fornications, thieveries, false testimonies, blasphemies. 20 These are the things defiling a man; but to take a meal with unwashed hands does not defile a man." Matthew 15:19,20

also see Mark 7:21

[TakeitBack]

"Gay-rights supporters wanted lawmakers to uphold the full marriage rights accorded by the state's highest court, the Supreme Judicial Court, in November. Conservatives wanted an amendment that defines marriage as between a man and a woman but without creating civil unions."

A typical example of liberal media bias (probably not even realized by the author): Gay-rights supporters vs. conservatives. MA has about a 30% registered Republican population, yet put to a referendum, and this would never come close to passing. How could this be? Of course, this is exactly why the ultra-liberal, elitist judges have legislated from the Bench.

The Stamp of Normality

[longtermmemmory]

1. civil unions will be challeged as discriminatory since homosexual unions have a sex act test. Why can't two ganster's marry and take advantage of any testimonial immunity that Mass may provide?

2. Is there any chance this issues can still be seperated. The voters should be able to decide them seperatly. This was adopted as a poison pill.

"I think my Christian brothers and sisters need to understand tolerance," Carreno said. "They need to understand that Jesus never said anything bad against a homosexual."

But Jesus did say that punishment visited upon Sodom was right and just.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The Mass. Supremes will just strike it down if it does pass. The US Supremes' Texas Sodomy decision says that states can't pass laws regulating homosexuals anyway. /sarcasm (I think)

Homosexual Agenda ping -

Been busy this am, haven't been able to read these articles.

But IMHO, civil unions are just another name for "gay" marriage.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

[INSENSITIVE GUY]

I simply do not see any difference between homo marriage and civil unions!If they are recognized legally in any way at all then they will have accomplished what they wanted.They will have the taxpayers footing the bill for their sexual filth and disease.
