Over The Top

This is why proponents of far left ideas don’t get anywhere. I can’t really believe that an advocacy group could actually be serious about this bill. Certainly they don’t believe this has a snowball’s chance of passing. Looks to me like it’s an over-the-top effort to call attention to homosexual marriage. It most certainly is a turn off for the average citizen. At least me, anyway.

Somebody ’splain this. Please.

UPDATE: The Seattle Times has interviewed members of the gay community; and the folks they spoke with have a completely different take on the matter.

Longtime gay-rights activist Bill Dubay said that while he gets the point of the initiative, it is unlikely he’d sign it.

“I don’t think anybody in the gay community wants to take someone else’s rights away,” he said. “We just want to gain the rights that everybody else has.”

The gay-rights organization Equal Rights Washington also won’t endorse it, pointing out that families come in all forms, some of which don’t include children. State laws, it said, should help — not hurt — families.
