UPDATED: Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment will be on the 2012 Ballot in Minnesota

    In a late night move yesterday, the Minnesota House voted to put the Gay Marriage ban on the ballot for 2012.

    And if the five-hour House debate is any indication, Minnesotans are in for 18 months of emotional and hard-fought campaigning. The campaign is expected to bring in millions of dollars for both sides.
    An hour after the House voted 70-62 to ask voters to decide whether marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, those opposed to the amendment launched their campaign, Minnesotans United for All Families.

    Bill sponsor Rep. Steve Gottwalt, R-St. Cloud, said the issue is so important that the public should decide it.

    “Not all wisdom resides here in the state Legislature and not all wisdom resides in our courts,” Gottwalt said as debate wound down.

    As votes were tallied, “just vote no” chants came from outside the House chamber.
    Opponents said they do not like where the amendment campaign could take Minnesota.
    “That makes me fear for our state,” Rep. Kate Knuth, DFL-New Brighton, said.
    WATCH how this went down

    All eyes will be on Minnesota in the upcoming months. I can't believe our rights are up for a vote.

Gay Marriage Drama from State to State


    In Minnesota, their Rules Committee of the House approved a floor vote on the constitutional gay marriage amendment. The committee voted 13-12 to put it before the full House.

    In North Carolina, thousands of haters rally for a constitutional ban on gay marriage. Tony Perkins leads this group of ignorant fools in this silly crusade.

    In Rhode Island, their House Committee passed the same-sex civil union bill, 9-3.

    And in New York, gay marriage struggles to gain ground for support. However, Mayor Micheal Bloomberg endorses gay marriage and calls for a floor vote to see where folks stand.

    Great point made by Steve, however the House committee voted 10-7 to allow Minnesotans to vote on a constitutional amendment that could ban gay marriage in their state.

In Minnesota: The Senate Committee approves Gay Marriage Ban


    The gay marriage ban is moving fast in Minnesota. Yesterday, the haters in the state Senate committee passed a bill that will allow folks to vote on banning gay marriage.


    The Senate Judiciary Committee approved the bill 8-4, with all Republicans in favor and all Democrats opposed. Passage by the full Senate and the House appears likely with solid Republican majorities in both chambers, meaning voters in 2012 would be asked to enshrine in Minnesota's Constitution a prohibition on same-sex marriage that already exists in state law.

    Supporters said the constitutional definition of marriage is important enough to give the final say to voters, rather than elected officials or judges. Critics said the bill reflects a narrow religious agenda that doesn't belong in the state Constitution and that a months-long, divisive debate will distract from more important issues facing the state.

    It's the first time in five years that a Minnesota legislative committee held a hearing on gay marriage. Two hours of testimony from both sides grew heated at times, and an overflow crowd that didn't fit into the Capitol hearing room could nonetheless be heard loudly cheering at pivotal moments as they watched nearby on closed-circuit TV.

    The chief Senate sponsor of the bill, Republican Sen. Warren Limmer of Maple Grove, said a recent Hennepin County lawsuit challenging Minnesota's statute banning gay marriage demonstrated the need for a stronger constitutional prohibition. A judge dismissed that challenge earlier this year, but Limmer said it showed the risk to the traditional definition of marriage.

    "This issue is on track to go forward to our court system," Limmer said.
    More to come as this issue continues.

Indiana Senate approves banning gay marriage


    Mess! Mess! Mess!

    The Indiana Senate has the nerve to approved a possible amendment banning gay marriage and civil unions by a vote of 40-10.
    If the General Assembly passes the measure again in 2013 or 2014, it would go to the voters in 2014, before the state constitution can be amended.


    The Indiana House already approved the measure.


    Democratic Sen. Tim Lanane of Anderson argued that attitudes toward same-sex marriages are rapidly changing and the amendment would make it difficult for future changes in state law.


    Current state law prohibits gay marriages. Amendment sponsor Sen. Dennis Kruse of Auburn says the measure would provide maximum protection for the basic family unit of society.
    This is ridic! Protection for the family unit? How? How, does ban gay marriage protect the family? If they can prove that to be true... Oh, they can't!Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/search/label/ban%20gay%20marriage

Indiana Continues their Anti-Gay Marriage push


    Indiana, come on! It's already known as one of the racist states in the US and now this?
    The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 7-3 Wednesday to pass a resolution amending Indiana’s Constitution to ban gay marriage.
    The resolution now goes to the full Senate, where it has passed five times in the past.
    The vote was along party lines, with Democrats against.

    Indiana state law already limits marriage to between one man and one woman, but supporters want the language inserted into the state Constitution so judges can’t overturn the law in the future. 

    The proposed language specifically says “only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Indiana. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.”

    The second sentence effectively would ban legislators from enacting civil unions in the future.
    If the resolution passes the Senate again, no other action is necessary this session because it already passed the House.

    The General Assembly would need to approve the measure again in 2013 or 2014 before reaching a statewide ballot for Hoosiers to make the final decision in 2014.
    Indiana, get with the times and get it together
