Mar. 23rd, 2009 07:43 pmIf your state constitution guarantees equality for all of its residents, and an amendment bans same sex marriage, then that state's government should also be forced to ban opposite-sex marriage because it discriminates against gays, which is unconstitutional.
...Earlier this month, two college students were given the OK to start collecting signatures for a proposed ballot measure to strike the word “marriage” from all state laws.
The measure would repeal the ban, and define domestic partnerships as unions between all couples, regardless of sexual orientation.
You have to admit, it's an interesting way to undo Prop 8 in California. Gays can't marry, making the Religious Right happy. And straights can't marry, which means gays will have equality. Everyone will be happy, right?
