notice that those states were all done by the courts.

What are they so scared of to not let the people vote?

Iowa had better get a grip and sort it out up there ans where else are these sick perverts planning to do this?

We need to know instead of just finding out when it is too late.
as Typical we’re always behind and not as organised and why can’t these decisions be appealed anyway.???

Did you hear that the Iowa gays says it is unconstitutional to declare that a marriage is between a man and a woman only? I’ll have to check my copy of the constitution but seriously doubt it is in there.

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????????
