Hey Joseph, maybe they’ll pick you to turn on the ovens! Idiots like you are fortunately, slowly dying out. We can wait.

First off i must applaud the Gov for sticking with the State constitution instead of popular opinion. AZ Voters amended it to say that marriage is between one man and one women only and that includes the privileges there of. So if you don’t like feel free to move some where else where they do grant those benefits

Republicans always prattle on about family but then crush those who are outside of what they consider to be “decent”.

How about Arizona (AZ)GLBTs with experience in holding public office running for the antigay Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s job? How about AZ GLBTs and allies preventing her at the polls from having a 2nd term where she can tighten her reign of anti-GLBT disadvantage and anti-LGBT discrimination? Isn’t it time AZ had an LGBT Governor??? Isn’t it time that Jan Brewer and those who think like her were stopped in their tracks and told NO, fair-minded Arizonans will not allow you to continue an anti-LGBT dictatorship in the near future? Isn’t it time Gov Brewer, her crew and her bad–for- Arizona decisions were put into reverse on the next AZ state election day and phased out ASAP??

Wouldn’t they save even more money by stripping away benefits for all recognized couples, domestic partnerships and the married?

Oh wait, maybe it’s not about the children, I’m sorry, forgot that money was the excuse this time..

Step back and look at it. Right now Phoenix is in its third property bust in 25 years. Instead of dealing with real problems (like Arizona’s reliance on imported water), the legislature uses gays as a diversion–and the voters go along with it.

They’re not fit to hold office because they’re a bunch of cranks who can’t stay out of other peoples’ private lives (limiting the number of sex toys in a house??). Instead of dealing with school funding and something other than boom-and-bust economic cycles, most of the Arizona legislature (like several others) seem to think they’re on earth to be bedroom monitors. Sounds like a good reason to start snooping and finding out who has what embarrassing secrets.
