In a ruling that has both sides claiming victory, a judge late Thursday ordered changes to the summary of a ballot initiative to ban same-sex marriage in California.

The proposed amendment would ban same-sex marriage and civil unions and nullify the state's landmark domestic partner benefits law.

But VoteYesMarriage, the organization behind the initiative, went to court over the title and and wording Attorney General Bill Lockyer's office used in the official summary of the measure that will be used to qualify it for the ballot. (story)


as much as I dislike Lockyer, he was right and I really hope he sticks to his guns (doubtful but we can always hope) and not deviate to far from his original summary

1. These people need a life

To spend all you time and energy trying to take away rights and benefits from other people is pretty sick. It reminds me of the people who tried to keep rights away from black people. Even though this is another generation I bet they are of the same mold.

And to try and sugar coat it so people will vote "yes" without really knowing what they are voting for is just reprehensible. I wonder when their next Klan meeting is.


"The Attorney General gave it the title: "Marriage. Elimination of Domestic Partnership Rights." VoteYesMarriage called for the question to be titled: "The Voters' Right to Protect Marriage Initiative."

2. Disgusting, isn't it? They make me ashamed

to be American.

They act like gays are their pets--and they must decide the best way to train them. Wrong, wrong, wrong! :banghead:

Why do these people not seem to get we are talking about HUMAN BEINGS?
