Article 8 objects to the proposed 2008 amendment on the grounds that, among other things, it grandfathers pre-amendment marriages; and that's a valid objection.<BR/><BR/>If Gov. Romney, the Catholic Bishops (note, not the people), and the Evangelical Christians oppose same-sex unions on moral grounds, then what is the moral/intellectual argument for allowing some marriages to stand? And if the answer is political expediency, i.e., it's a more palatable amendment to the voters nervous about voiding marriages, then are we to understand that these churches teach that we should always act in accord with the Bible, except when it's politically expedient to do otherwise?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13062504.post-1119030877285107492005-06-17T14:54:00.000-03:002005-06-17T14:54:00.000-03:00On a cosmetic level, I had to giggle over their us...On a cosmetic level, I had to giggle over their using a young, Black couple to represent the petition program.

Better they should use such charmers as Brian Camenker, Emile Goguen and maybe Sean O'Malley as their spokesmodels. That would be a test of faith for their minions.<BR/><BR/>If Mitt had the guts to match his guile, he would lead a meaty domestic-partnership effort here and lobby Bush for the same at a national level. All those struggling with those health, insurance, visitation, benefits, and tax issues could use some leadership to provide meaningful, equitable relief.massmarrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02358207247771711952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13062504.post-1119027093124376262005-06-17T13:51:00.000-03:002005-06-17T13:51:00.000-03:00Boston Bud is right!

Then again, if read their agenda, providing "reciprocal benefits" is only third on their list. They have marriages to destroy and that has to be job one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
