Your Marriage May
Be In Danger - 1.28.2000 There is a proposition on
the California March 7th ballot that if passed, will make homosexual marriages performed
in other states, invalid in California. The tag line is, "Protect marriage, yes
on 22." Whose marriage is being protected? My marriage seems
unthreatened. I'm I missing something? Perhaps the fear is that repressed
homosexuals who are living behind the facade of a heterosexual marriage, might leave their
partners for a homosexual marriage. That would mean the proposition is probably
being sponsored by the spouses of repressed homosexuals. Hmmm.
Seriously, I think the supporters of Proposition 22 should honestly
assess what their motives are. Do they realIy fear that marriage will lose it's place as
the ultimate pledge of commitment to another or is it that they just don't like
homosexuals and want to limit their rights. Voters should think carefully before
supporting any proposition that is based on spite and exclusion.
