They KNOW it means huge numbers of average people, who donb't vote for a living, will turn out to vote against it, as has happened in every state that has been allowed to vote on it.
I wonder if this thread will be flooded by those who oppose this action.
Most gay marriage threads get taken over by them.
Why, why, this is something the TALIBAN would do. Oh wait, the taliban would actually KILL the fagola.
Only to have some activist judge come along and knock it down.
Congrats to Indiana! Voting for my state’s constitutional definition of marriage as between one man and one woman was one of the three votes in my life that I was most proud of casting. The other two being for Reagan in ‘88 and for Palin in ‘08.
I was married for half my life and was miserable.
Anybody who wants to share that kind of misery is welcome to do so in my book.
What are the chances in the senate, and the guv’s desk?
I thought they already had an amendment.
Hooray, Indiana! Maybe you’ll lead the way for other states and start the return to sanity.
Of course, all this means is that homo “marriage” is ultimately destined to be decided by the Supreme Court.
YEA!
The Judge Shopping Begins.
begs the question ... why did they not do this years ago?
No, in 2012 voters in Minnesota rejected an amendment outlawing same-sex marriage.
"Civil unions" = "gay marriage" with a different label.
If Wikipedia can be trusted (a big if), here is how Indiana’s House is divided:
69 Republicans, 31 Demon-Rats
The Indiana House is divided:
39 Republicans, 13 Demon-Rats (apparently 1 vacancy)
Would they also ban same sex marriages between people who are not “gay”?
This is a defeat for those that fight for sanctity of marriage. Law had to be passed two years in a row without amendment. By passing an amended law, the cowards both left a door open for civil unions AND delayed the vote by another year making sure it does not go on the ballot in 2014. Dems and RINO’s doing what they always do.
Thank you...hope it passes...
FINALLY!!!! Go Indiana!!
