The Pheonix reports: A deadly move against same-sex marriage

[Ian David]

The politics may be even more complicated than you think, but the issue is easy to understand

There was never any real question that the legislature, convened in a Constitutional Convention, would vote on the bigoted proposal to ban marriage between couples of the same sex.

The vile jaw-boning of the thankfully now ex-governor Mitt Romney had nothing to do with it.



Likewise, the admonition of the state’s Supreme Judicial Court had little to do with it.

The issue, as Phoenix political writer David S. Bernstein pointed out before this week’s dispiriting vote, was guaranteed to come to a vote because Senate president Robert Travaglini thought it should.

Unfortunately, by denying that reality, the people fighting on the side of the angels magnified the scope of the victory won by gay-marriage opponents.

1. The picture is a foreshadow of it rising again only

2. discrimination against anyone is wrong.....

and it hurts everyone in our country. Why is it that people who are gay can't get married, and straight people are avoiding making that commitment? I know many people who are gay and they are committed to their partners. Let them get married!
