Holy Crapola !! VOTE "NO" . . .

Holy Crapola, there's potential to make legally null and void all kinds of legal stuff that presently favor homosexuals and their children if this STUPID discriminatory Kansas constitutional amendment is passed on Tuesday, April 5, 2005 election. In other words, stuff that's legally favorable now in Kansas for homosexuals and their kids may be chucked out if this amendment wins!

In addition, there's potentiality that this amendment may impact, negatively, heterosexual couples who've contracted in some legal manner to receive or grant benefits in Kansas law similar to marrieds.

Wow. Is this hateful and despicable crapola!! It may come back to bite the hateful religion-into-law crowd in Kansas and their carpet-bagging supporters too!

This is the Kansas ballot question that would amendment the Kansas constitution if it passes . . . and would not change anything if it does not pass . . .

VOTE NO !!!!


"Shall the following be adopted?

"16. Marriage (a) The marriage contract is to be considered in law as a civil contract. Marriage shall be constituted by one man and one woman only. All other marriages are declared to be contrary to the public policy of this state and are void.

"(b) No relationship, other than a marriage, shall be recognized by the state as entitling the parties to the rights or incidents of marriage.

"YES

"NO . . ."

2. Well, due to the wording, it should NOT pass . . . that is . . .

Well, due to the wording, it should NOT pass . . . that is . . . if all the people understood what it means. However, folks don't know what it really means in law. And that's the rub.

The bright side of all these state constitutional amendments across America is that if somebody challenges it up to the U.S. Supreme Court, then the amendments would be chucked out. That is, if the Court remains as it is presently.

That being said, even if the U.S. Supreme Court tosses out these hateful and despicable state constitutional amendments, it will not be for years. In the meantime, thousands of homosexuals, their families, including their children, will be deeply and seriously hurt.
