Good point. Even liberal California voted down homosexual marriage in a free and fair vote of the people.

Massachusetts’ legislature killed off a proposed referendum in that state on marriage. There the people will probably never get to vote on it. In Connecticut, the process of amending the constitution is very cumbersome, and will likely never happen. In Iowa, the state legislature must approve proposed constitutional amendments in two consecutive sessions, then submit to voters for final approval. This too is a cumbersome process.

So the three states that now have homosexual marriage will have it indefinitely.

I would love to see conservatives somehow force a lawsuit on the federal law with marriage, in a certain way. Since federal law declares marriage as a man and a woman, can’t the states be compelled to go along? Doesn’t federal law always trump conflicting state laws?

I know the liberals will try to force homosexual marriage through the federal courts. But I hoped conservatives could also file suit on a different set of issues.

Why is this issue being handled on the timetable of the gay activists anyway? Why do they get to decide when and where lawsuits are filed and all that????????

This should serve as a prime example to ALL states saying they don't need an amendment since their DOMA has not been challenged. Same goes for Fed. Amendment. They should be done to prevent the challenge to DOMA’s.

Instead, in many states and federally, legislators sat back and let them frame it as a civil rights issue, when it isn't one. A legitimate civil right does not infringe upon the real civil rights of others.

your last line

have asked this several times, they are using the courts so why are we not. It seems we react instead of being in front of them.

Right now as I type they are moving people into towns, states etc, they are working with certain legislatures and trying to get them elected but of course not informing the public of their intentions.
when everyone is on lace they then go for it and by that time we are too late.

Question is why are we not doing the same, pick out certain areas and then put one of ours in there , giving them financial support , word out etc?

We will never win this if we just keep reacting and keeping quiet, some of us are now speaking against them with no fear of name calling but many still do not want to say anything and that is sad.
