Same-sex marriage

One confused couple

By adamg - 9/9/05 - 5:22 pm

So, is this cute couple against gay marriage or for it?

Charlie noticed that the same two people appear on the Web sites of both Vote on Marriage, which wants a ballot question to outlaw gay marriage and Know Thy Neighbor, which says it will post the names and addresses of anybody who signs petitions for the question. You can also see our lovely couple for sale at this clip art site for only $89.99 for a low-res version (ah, the perils of clip art!).

Winning the gay-marriage fight with kindness

Chris has some suggestions for people who will be fighting the ballot initiative to ban gay marriage:

Tracking people who sign petitions for the gay-marriage ballot question

By adamg - 9/8/05 - 5:42 pm

A couple of gay activists have set up a Web site on which they promise to list the names and addresses of everybody who signs petitions for a ballot question that would outlaw future gay marriages in Massachusetts. You can even sign up to be notified if somebody in your town signs one of the petitions (hmm, where's the integration with a mapping program?).

Right or wrong?

Gay marriage on the ballot?

By adamg - 9/8/05 - 9:02 am

Some reaction to AG Tom Reilly's decision that the anti-gay-marriage movement can go ahead and try to get their petition on the 2006 ballot:

Karl: Please remove flip-flopper designation from John Kerry and attribute it to AG Reilly.

Sco: We're being subjected to three years of poisonous rhetoric (on both sides) for what?

To stop a handful of gay couples from being happy.

The Dem-bashing presidential candidate

That would be John Kerry, according to SCO, who wonders why he felt compelled to go after the Massachusetts Democratic Party for a proposed pro-gay marriage plank at its issues convention next week - especially since last year he said he felt individual states should be allowed to settle the matter.
