I’m afraid you may be right on that.
The fact that its even a close vote is scary...
I think hypothetically, if the Gay Marriage ban referendum were to be put on a national ballot tommorow, we’d be lucky to get 55% for traditional marriage....The culture is crumbling.
“...The culture is crumbling.”
The irony is that Obama might help bring it back.
Yeah this worries me too. Here in Tennessee we recently passed the "marriage = man + woman" amendment to our constitution by a margin of 80% to 20%!
Queerly, (LOL) I don't recall a single national news story reporting this huge margin. I should expect no less I suppose. Here: http://www.thetaskforce.org/downloads/reports/reports/MarriageAndLGBVoters2006.pdf is a report by one of the "gay" task forces that you may want to have a gander at. Shows how they think they're "winning", and judging by the thin margin in Maine, they may very well be doing just that.
Probably more support nationwide, but the tragic consequence would be a consolation action by pro-traditional marriage supporters - to grant something to the losers. This would be "civil unions" identical to marriage. A losing proposition for everyone.
