People tired of Homosexuals trying to change marriage

Image
A majority of California voters opposes putting the issue of gay marriage back on the ballot for another referendum. They are tired of being hammered by homosexual political groups constantly seeking to redefine marriage for everybody. According to a just-released survey by the new polling team of The Times and the University of Southern California, a small majority of Californians favors the right of gay couples to marry . But a far larger proportion of the 1,500 registered voters in the new poll opposes putting the issue back on another statewide ballot next year. This week Maine became the 31st state where voters, in effect, defeated the idea of gay marriage in a statewide vote. Not surprisingly, same-sex-marriage views were sharply polarized by political party; 66% of Democrats thought it should be legal and 71% of Republicans opposed it. Nonpartisan voters were less enthusiastic than Democrats but still backed it, 59% to 34%. Overall, the smallest majority of 51% of Cal

Illinois school district ejects homosexual activist curriculum

ERIE, ILLINOIS, June 25, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – An Illinois school district has bucked the national homosexual lobby by voting to remove books that promote same-sex “marriage” or mainstream alternate lifestyles. After parents complained about The Family Book, which the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) recommends “to naturalize and celebrate family diversity,” the Erie Community Unit School District 1 voted to remove all GLSEN curriculum from the district. The vote was 5-2. Ann Schipper, the mother of three children in the system, said the curriculum “completely wipes away what my kids have learned at church and at home, and it creates confusion in them.” GLSEN’s “Ready, Set, Respect!” curriculum, aimed at elementary school students as young as kindergarten, intentionally hopes to alter young children’s definition of family and sexual identity. Its toolkit states: “The elementary school years offer a wonderful and important opportunity to instill an

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON , June 14, 2012, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) - An effort to place the definition of marriage before voters in Washington state has secured its spot on the November ballot, after the state approved the required number of signatures on a petition. Washington Governor Christine Gregoire . Initiative 74 gathered 247,331 signatures supporting its place on the ballot, far more than the legal requirement of 120,577, state officials announced Tuesday. Earlier this year Washington state became the seventh state , in addition to the District of Columbia , to allow same-sex couples to legally wed. Now that the referendum has been approved, law requires that the new marriage definition be put on hold until the state’s voters decide. Although Washington has allowed “all but marriage” privileges to same-sex couples since 2008, the state legislature passed a law granting the name of marriage in February, a measure that had been set to go into effect this month.

Intolerant Homosexual Activism

English: State seal of North Carolina (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The bile being spat at the people of North Carolina exposes the ugly elitism of the gay-marriage lobby. This orgy of bile, from the mainstream branding of North Carolina's voters as 'ignorant' to the peripheral demands that they do the world a favour and kill themselves, shows what is behind the gay-marriage campaign. This is not about rights and equality, or love and happiness. Rather, gay marriage has become a tool through which the right-minded sections of society express their moral superiority over the dumb, the brainwashed, the insufficiently cosmopolitan, the churchgoing. Gay marriage has become a kind of weapon, wielded by the right-on to demonstrate that they are better—that is, less brainwashed and more caring—than your average redneck or country black. Supporting gay marriage has become a kind of cultural signifier, a way of distinguishing oneself from the ignorant throng. Given all thi

Martin O'Malley Meanwhile, traditional marriage supporters have already made headway bringing the issue to voters: Mary Cramer Wagner, director of the board’s Voter Registration Division, told the Baltimore Sun on Wednesday that petition drafts filed by the Maryland Marriage Alliance and a Maryland delegate have been deemed compliant with state petition regulations.

Image via Wikipedia A pro- family coalition in New York is organizing marches and rallies throughout the state on the day the new same-sex “marriage” law takes effect, to demand that the legislature allow the voters to make the final decision on the definition of marriage. The pro-referendum coalition, calling itself “Let the People Vote ,” has organized the demonstrations in Manhattan, Albany, Buffalo , and Rochester for July 24 at 3 p.m.  “The actions of these legislators and the Governor not only betrayed the trust of those who elected them, but also outraged the silent majority,” said Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage . “Voters in 31 other states have been able to decide the definition of marriage for their states, but New Yorkers have been denied that right.” Let The People Vote describes itself as a coalition of “many diverse religious and ethnic communities” that are united around the principle of protecting the definition of marriage as the
