California should amend Proposition 8 in 2010 to say – “Only a union of any two adult persons shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.”

Let the people vote!!!!

Wisconsin Referendum 1 (2006) approved by 59 percent of voters quotes:

“Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state”.

Very similar hey!!!!

Also Wisconsin will have limited domestic partnerships – eff. from 3 August 2009. Louisiana has NO recognition at all.

The 2004 amendment approved by 78 percent of voters quotes:

“Marriage in the state of Louisiana shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman. No official or court of the state of Louisiana shall construe this constitution or any state law to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any member of a union other than the union of one man and one woman. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized. No official or court of the state of Louisiana shall recognize any marriage contracted in any other jurisdiction which is not the union of one man and one woman”
[Louisiana Constitutional Amendment 1 2004]

Governor Puyush (Americanized his first name to Bobbie, I call him Puyush his original name) Jindal is the midst of attack Louisianna families.

Lousianna has a constitutional amendment that needs to be struck down and Jindal (of India heritage) needs to be sacked at the next Louisianna election for its governor.

Gays, get out there and run for governor, etc of every state in the USA and make a difference!

Neither of these guys is a lawyer, and they are not represented by a lawyer. Their pleadings are poorly written and not well pleaded. Finally, they do no understand federal constitutional law nor do they understand federal civil procedure law. It’s egotists like this that set back the progress of gay rights law.
