Comments on: Calif. gay marriage ban becomes big money race

Good for you, Wayne! So many of us in GLBT community refuse to be Obama-Zombies. Too many Uncle Gay Tom’s for the DEMS around here. That is why the DEMS take us for granted. Let’s see how supportive the Black community, or any other minority community with any self-respect, would respond if some presidential candidate spoke down to them like Barrack has done to us. How shameful.

SEPARATE, BUT EQUAL (?) = GAY PRIDE — What a joke!!!

Wayne,

Perhaps you missed THESE nuggets too …

“Last week, Palin endorsed passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment, which would amend the U.S. Constitution to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain supports a constitutional amendment against same-sex marriage in his home state of Arizona”

“Palin, during an interview with the Christian Broadcasting News, said she had supported a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in Alaska and she wants a similar ban at the federal level.

“I wish on a federal level that that’s where we would go because I don’t support gay marriage,” Palin told the interviewer.”

Could it be any clearer why gay people shouldn’t vote for Mrs. Palin and Mr. McBush, Wayne?

They may well be your friends; they’re certainly not ours.

Congratulations Bud Clark to you and your partner!!! Let’s hope someday those pushing Yes on 8 have to endure a 35-year “engagement!”

I married my same-sex partner on Sept. 15th at the San Diego County Court House, after a 35-year “engagement.” We’re are both elderly and disabled. I have severe arthritis. I was married in a wheelchair, and sometimes my hands swell and I have to take off my wedding ring. It doesn’t feel right. It feels like something ESSENTIAL is missing. I HAVE to be able to see it or feel it … in front of me on the desk, or around my neck on a chain. I ADORE my partner; we have stood by each other in sickness and in health for DECADES. NO Konservative Kristianist Krazy is going to take THAT away from me.

Meanwhile, apart from Wayne’s foolishness, it really doesn’t matter – in the long run (though it inconveniences us in the short run) – if this foolish proposition passses -for it, too, will ultimately be struck down by the CA SC as UN-Constitutional – which it cearly IS – since it denies a segment of the citizenry equal treatment before the law.

Wayne,

I cordially invite you to actually READ the following thread…

Biden opposes Calif. gay marriage ban; Palin calls for federal amendment

and then tell us the Rethuglicans are in OUR (not YOUR) corner on this.

Please folks, just stop replying to Wayne, it only encourages him.

I agree with Pat, “We are queer, not stupid”. Time to give it a rest Wayne.

Yes folks! Please keep up the support. Call your relatives and friends in California and let them know how important this is.

I married my husband in California and I want everyone to have that opportunity in the future.

On a side note, there are too many Marks or Marcs on here. I’m the Mark from Chicago, not Canada, and it’s spelled with a “k” but I’m changing to a different handle to cut down on confusion.

And, as goes California goes the nation!! Keep the money pouring in. I want to STAY married to the love of my life!!
