What evil person would suggest that Republican trade on anti-gay hysteria? Just because they're, you know, introducing a state constitutional amendment in Florida to prohibit gay people from marrying, even though gay marriage is already illegal in Florida. And the Federal Defense of Marriage Act already allows them to ignore any perverts from Massachusetts who want to live the rest of their lives with a single partner.

What Florida needs is a constitutional amendment. Right now. Why? According to Jesse Phillips of MetroLife Church:

My friend John Stemberger's efforts to save marriage is closing in on an important milestone. They are only 13,000 ballots away from the required 611,000+ needed to put a marriage ammendment (sic) on the ballot for the 2008 elections.

The amendment would change Florida's constitution to define marriage as a union between one man and one woman, so that marriage cannot be defined in ways that the Bible forbids, and so that marriages and families can be protected by state law.

If you are a Florida resident and have not signed a ballot, please go to www.Florida4Marriage.org and find out what you can do to help these last minute efforts to get the ballot past.

As the linked article states so aptly, "Anti-gay amendments are the Happy Meal toy of Republican politics."
