Washington D.C. (AHN) - House Republicans are going ahead to vote on a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. The vote is scheduled for Tuesday as part of a week in which House GOP leaders plan to focus on what they call their "American values agenda."
In one of his weekly radio addresses, President Bush said changing the Constitution is necessary because "activist judges and some local officials have made an aggressive attempt to redefine marriage in recent years.
Last month, the Senate was short of the 11 of the 60 votes needed to advance the proposal to a yes-or-no decision.
Although the vote was close, opponents of same-sex marriage considered it a success.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council told the Associated Press, "The more this issue is discussed, the more people understand the threat" (posed by activist courts).
Perkins said the votes in Congress enable the majority of Americans who oppose gay marriage "to look and see if the people in Washington represent them and stand on the same side."
Massachusetts is currently the only state that allows same-sex couples to marry, but the state's high court ruled this month that a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages in future can be put on the ballot.
One espousing leftist ideology or three leftist ideology are still espousing leftist ideology. Numbers do not make that which is severely flawed any less severely flawed...
I am not disparaging you. I speak the truth. Searching your posts results in nothing but pages and pages of gay-bashing. The evidence indicates it is the only issue that concerns you. You have turned FR into your own little Westboro Baptist Church.
Do not be ashamed of your homophobia, DBeers. It's who you are. I've accepted it, why can't you?
LOL!
Would that charge classify as (shudder) stalking?
I'm kind of surprised to see you back on this thread. You got your butt handed to you here...
Do not be ashamed of your homophobia, DBeers. It's who you are. I've accepted it, why can't you?
I suggest you seek another safer forum -where such leftist personal attacks on others may pass unnoticed and would probably be welcomed -say DU?
LOL -you seem to be more wishful than rational in your observation...
Right. Though you tried your usual threats and name calling, you didn't scare too many conservatives away this time, like you usually do. I'd say, at the risk of Churchill turning over in his grave, This thread was not your finest hour...
I will let you know if ever my finest hours are measured by your futile minutes...
Oh I won't take credit for the others here who handed your butt to you. it wasn't my futile minutes which, as usual, were on the winning side of the issue. So you may want to try and put this thread behind you. Not sure why the old gang didn't come to your rescue like they usually do. It's not a pretty sight when they leave you out there to fend for yourself.
LOL - I am still here butt intact despite your wishful thinking...
