"Why Some Americans Don't Have Reason to Celebrate:"

"Sorry to be the buzz-kill at the liberal victory-party, but this election has been a historic nightmare for millions of gay Americans. In Florida, Arizona, and California propositions have been passed to amend state constitutions, permanently enshrining second-class citizenship into law. America...

Sea Change?

"Tuesday's [election] results will show how far attitudes to gay marriage have changed. Florida and Arizona will join California in voting on whether to stop gay marriage.

Busy Bodies…

Busy Bees…

Bullshit.

"Failing to ban gay marriage in the state constitution could result in the indoctrination of schoolchildren into a gay lifestyle, supporters of Amendment 2 said today." Those people should take a look at California school superintendent John O'Connell's commercial decrying such false...
