Time to Gay-Bash
Posted on | October 17, 2006
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Virginia tries to drag the bigots out to vote, offering a measure to amend the Constitution to ban same-sex marriage:
The poll also found that Virginians are virtually split over whether gay couples should be able to form civil unions, which would give them health insurance, inheritance benefits and other legal rights of married couples. The poll found that 48 percent believe gay couples should be allowed to engage in civil unions and 47 percent do not. The amendment would constitutionally ban civil unions between gay couples, although they are already illegal in Virginia.
“We’ve been seeing this for a long time now: When people read the entire question and think about what it means, they vote no,” said Claire Guthrie Gastanaga, campaign director for the Commonwealth Coalition, the group organizing opposition to the amendment.
Count on the GOP to pander rather than make any effort to better the lives of working Americans.
