SAN FRANCISCO—Gay rights groups in California plan to ask voters to overturn the ban on same-sex marriage they approved last week if legal challenges to Proposition 8 are unsuccessful.

In an e-mail to supporters, Equality California executive director Geoffrey Kors said Wednesday that he and other gay marriage advocates are aiming for a ballot initiative to reverse the ban in two years.

The Pink Mafia won’t give up. That’s why a US Constitutional Amendment is in order

Right, just keep voting until you get the outcome you want. I’m sure you’ll wear everybody out eventually.

Its not a ban... its a constitutional amendment that defines marriage.

Conservatives should counter with a proposal to ban sodomy.

LOL
do they even know that they are making total fools of themselves right now

My youngest at 5 shows more maturity than these homo old lady bullies.

you want your perverted sick twisted sham marriage then go to MA,CT where it was forced on the people by other activist liberal judges.

better still let the north east just succeed and let them have their liberal utopia and leave us all in peace. All conservative there are welcome , all liberals are not welcome you can stay in your liberal utopia so you can screw all that up.

The will of the people is just an annoyance to liberals, especially this “cause”. The more they try to beat down the will of the majority, the more people simply do not like them.

Like most liberals, they NEVER consider the consequences of their actions. They don’t care.

Now that is a brilliant idea.

Can you find a majority that would reject a ban on sodomy?

Unfortunately, the Extreme Court declared state anti-sodomy laws unconstitutional. We need anti-Insane Judges laws!

If at first you don’t succeed... and you then fail to get the courts to rule on your behalf... TRY TRY AGAIN!

Yeah, burning Mormon Churches and cursing out blacks will work just fine.

The gay mafia has won SO MANY friends over the last week.

What part of “If it don’t fit, don’t force it!” do these people not understand?

That is correct.
They will have to word a measure to redefine marriage as between one man and one woman to "two persons" or something similar.

My suspicion is they will try to manufacture some sideshow that desperately needs to be addressed, and the ballot measure they offer just so happens to slip in the redefinition.

Perhaps they will say that Mormons are trying to make polygamy legal in California, and we need to tell the Mormon Church “No! marriage is only between two persons.”

It is true, these people will never give up, until they are did in, that is until they destroy theirselves. I think of a verse in Proverbs, “By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.” (Proverbs 16:6).
May we remember, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall nor inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor exortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you.......” (1 Corinthians 6:9-11a).
Yes, it could be....”such were some you.” If they receive the rest of verse 11. To be washed to be sanctified and be justified in the name of the Lord Jesus!

So if they can't circumvent the People, then they'll make them revote. How nice of them.

Actually, this is a good sign. The supporters have doubts that the state Supremes will overturn it.
