FLORIDA FRIENDS!
VOTE NO ON 2!

in case you don't know, they are trying to pass an amendment called the "Florida marriage protection amendment"


heres what it says
"This amendment protects marriage as the legal union of only one man and one woman as HUSBAND AND WIFE and provides that NO OTHER legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized. the direct financial impact this amendment will have on state and local government revenues and expenditures cannot be determined, but it is expected to be minor.
"

in layman’s terms, the amendment will prohibit any gay couple from being joined in marriage. also, it will prohibit any non married couple from having the same rights as married couples. in other words, people like my granny and the man she has been with for half of her life but never married would not be able to visit her if she were in the hospital or something.



Does this really affect civil unions?

YES! If they provide the equal rights of marriage

"So long as a law, ordinance or regulation does not grant unmarried couples the same panoply of rights, protections, benefits, responsibilities, obligations and duties as are granted to and imposed upon married couples, it will not be affected by the proposed Amendment.
"


"this amendment hurts millions of tax paying Floridians by denying BOTH equal civil marriage and civil unions"

If Florida voters pass this constitutional amendment, not only will hundreds of thousands of tax-paying gay and lesbian couples forever be denied equal access to civil marriage, but all other forms of legal recognition, including domestic partnerships and civil unions, may no longer be valid or recognized.


"the Constitution is for ALL citizens,
not just those who are Christian"

this amendment is bullshit.

if you disagree, i invite you to message me
and tell me any way that gay couples are harming or bothering you by joining in marriage.

its the year 2008
personally, i think people need to learn not to be so arrogant and close minded.

LOVE SEE'S NO GENDER, CREED OR RACE.

VOTE NO ON 2!
