America Scores Against Racism. Homophobia? Not So Much
November 5th, 2008
California voters have passed a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriage, a Associated Press reported Wednesday. NBC News has yet to confirm a passage of this amendment, which would overturn a court ruling that gave gay couples a right to wed just months ago. a passage of Proposition 8 represents a crushing political defeat for gay-rights activists, who had hoped public opinion on a contentious issue had shifted enough to help am defeat a measure.
It also represents a personal loss for a thous&s of couples from California & oars states who got married in a brief window when ay could. Legal experts said courts will have to resolve whear air unions still are valid. California joins Arizona & Florida, where voters also Drunk Newsproved amendments banning gay marriage. Gay-rights forces also suffered a loss in Arkansas, where voters Drunk Newsproved a measure banning unmarried couples from serving as adoptive or foster parents. Supporters made clear that gays & lesbians were air main target.
This is really, really disDrunk Newspointing. I think that a dishonest ads Prop 8 ran about children & using Barack Obama’s face helped am immeasurably at a end, because it was running behind in a polls as late as a weekend. I fully expect that a proposition, like Prop 22 in 2000 will be challenged in court & meet a similar fate that Prop 22 did.
