Assembly passes same-sex marriage bill
Sfgate ^

Posted on 09/06/2005 8:21:03 PM PDT by America First Libertarian

A landmark bill to legalize gay marriage passed the Assembly by a single vote Tuesday and now goes to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has not said whether he will sign it.

The measure passed on a 41-to-35 votes, with no support from Republicans. The author of the bill, Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, worked desperately throughout the day to find the votes needed for passage.

The Senate approved AB849 last week, marking the first time a legislative body in the country to approve a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. But supporters had a harder time mustering support in the Assembly, where the bill had already failed once this year, falling four votes short.

"Because the radical left believes that the family unit is the very center of impenetrable darkness in society. If the family unit could be wiped out then children could be raised in the perfect light of scientific leftist wisdom and humankind could be perfected. The family unit is the very beating heart of all superstition, hatred, and mental illness."



"It Takes A Village" A radical leninist senator who's running for president in 2008 wrote that book....I'm sure you can guess who that is.

“On New Year’s Eve, I boarded the train to Moscow with an interim stop in Leningrad’s (St. Petersburg) Finland Station. It was the same route Lenin had taken in 1917 when he returned to Russia to take over the revolution. It was on my mind because I had read Edmund Wilson’s marvelous book To the Finland Station. When we came to the Russian border, another isolated outpost, I met my first real live Communist, a pudgy, cherubic-looking guard.”

Bill Clinton, from his book My Life, p. 167 (note: actually, Clinton met his “first real live communist” at Oxford; that “first real live communist” was his friend Jan Kopold)

"Kind of an uphill battle when ones state is controlled by corrupt unions."

I didn't know corrupt unions had a stake in the whole gay marriage thing. Please explain.

Family courts will use the FACT homosexuals have a shorter lifespan in determining custody.

I know because I have used expert witnesses to testify for clients in custody cases where the father "discovered" homosexual preferences in the course of a divorce. Essentially the the best interests of the child are best served by granting full custody to the mother in that situaion. It is also useful in precluding overnight visitation. (in one case mandatory supervised visitation)

You may not like it but the homosexual lifestyle DOES create an expectation of shorter life. IT is why homosexuals fight tooth and nail for keeping aids exposure for insurance consideration in applications. Why they absolutly HATE the fact blood and sperm donations do not allow homosexual donors.

Government has no business regulating any marriage, gay or straight. It's hypocritical to support government sanctioned straight marriage and oppose gay marriage. Oppose both! Keep the government out of the bedroom!

OMG!!!!




The uprooting of traditional family institutions is also a goal of the homosexual revolution, which -- like the feminist movement -- has its origins in the Marxist Left and has been nurtured by the power elite. The American "gay rights" movement was inaugurated by the Mattachine Society, founded in the 1950s by Marxists Harry Hay and Rudi Gernreich. The ongoing and shockingly successful campaign to normalize homosexuality is the product of a cunning strategy that uses the mass media, especially entertainment, and other Establishment-controlled institutions to re-educate the public in favor of the unmentionable vice. That strategy was outlined, with stunning candor, in After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the '90's, by homosexual activists Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen. Taking a page from Gramsci (and Goebbels), the authors urged that the Lavender Lobby mount a full-scale propaganda war to bring about the "conversion" of America through a "planned psychological attack." Through such means, the authors predicted, Americans would be "cured" of their opposition to homosexual perversion, "whether they like it or not."

"It is about how we raise children."

Wrong. Plenty of marriages are barren but the union holds.

"Homosexuals are irrelevant to society."

Wrong. This thread and a thousand others are the evidence. And, nobody is irrelevant.

"They have no reason to seek marriage other than to legitimize their sexual conduct as equal to normal sexual conduct."

Wrong. Unless of course, you know the mind of every homosexual seeking marriage and, through this amazing ability you know they're not really in love.

"The fact is that these legislators are bypassing the will of the people."

Right. I don't know when the people voted. Time can change peoples views though and I'm sure that's what these representatives are banking on.

"The right thing would be for the legislators to respect the people and stop playing checkbook politics."

That applies to everything the government (state or federal) does or doesn't do.

"If anything this shows why we need the Federal Marriage Amendment to end this effort to define marriage as a adult sex behavior and not about producing and raising children."

Wrong. Get off your obsession with other people's sex lives. Marriage is about a life long commitment that last's far beyond the child bearing years. Our vows included "til death do us part" not "til after the kids are grown and gone do us part". I'm sure yours included something similar.

They're calling their own movement perversion???? I mean, it IS, but they're acknowledging it?

Then, I suggest they bring it up for another vote of the people of our state, OK?

Times can change? What the hell has changed since the election? You think there's been such a monumental shift in opinion that the people want their elected officials to circumvent their vote?

For a clear understanding of the homosexual movement and it's foundations See posts #93, #77 and #66

"They fund the dems..."

Right, but unless they're paying people outright to vote a certain way, I don't see how money will help them when it comes to this issue. This is an extremely powerful issue that people won't forget unless they really don't care about it. It's a vote getter for sure... Republican challengers should be licking their chops right now.
