SelectPlusGay Marriage on Calif. BallotGay Marriage on Calif. BallotThe Associated PressAn initiative to outlaw gay marriage in California has qualified for the November ballot. The measure would amend the state constitution to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. (June 3)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Just weeks after the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriages, voters in the Golden state may have a chance to outlaw them. An initiative making gay marriage illegal has qualified for the November ballot. If the measure passes, it would amend the state constitution -- defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman. On May 15th, the California Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. Local officials can start issuing marriage applications to gay couples June 17th. Gay couples would still be able to get married between the middle of June and the election unless the court agrees to stay its decision until after the November 4th election. If the measure passes, its unclear if gay marriages in the next five months will be nullified come November. Recent polls have found that California voters are about evenly split in their support the gay marriage ban amendment. If passed, the marriage ban would be similar to ones passed in 26 other states across the country. ___ ___, The Associated Press.(****END****) ANCHOR VOICE: -------------------------VIDEO PRODUCER: Kevin White ------------------------------VIDEO SOURCE: APTN --------------------------VIDEO APPROVAL: File ------------------------------VIDEO RESTRICTIONS: ----------------------------------SCRIPT/WIRE SOURCE: ------------------------------------

Actually the bible condemns same sex unions * Genesis 2:18--25 * Leviticus 18:22 * Mark 10:6 * Romans 1:26--27 * 1 Corinthians 6:9--10 * 1 Timothy 1:9--10

i think GOD will show more lienency with females than males on this gay subject being that women are weaker and have always been easier targets for satan,from the garden of eden till now...but i must say jesus said the devil has come to destroy in john 10;10 it seems hes found his nitch with this gay stuff.

Well, despite the slight misspelling, that was a good comment, quite funny. Here's a funny story though. according to someone I know who takes part in the student program C.O.N.A. (congress on national affairs, where student delegates from each state go and debate topic) said that one year, all the students from the southern states stood up and did a mock secession from the union. Once they finished, though, all the CA and WA delegates stood and Thanked Them! I laughed my ass off.

I hope the gays and lesbians don't subconsciously want the Democrats to lose the national election(s) in November by bringing this up this year. Do they want the right to marry that badly that this outcome could result?

Stop trying to rehinge the closet door, johns3SoCal. We will have the right to marry and Barack Obama will be the President.

Marriage derives from the word 'to merge into one'. Marriage is not founded upon the ability to make babies, save lots of money, own property, nor be upstanding people in a religious context within society. Marriage is the merging of to souls who are in love, regardless of what sex one is, love is not defined by one's set of sex organs. Love is pure and simple, from the heart.

Possible, I don't immediately discount it. The bible doesn't say that women are excused and that X and Y should be done to treat their "illness." Also, it does say that women cannot have sex with animals in the next scripture or just above it. So is sex with animals not treatable? Given that teenagers could be stoned for rebellion, I'm thinking there is a different explanation.

as well you shouldn't discount it, because it's true. If you watch the documentary Paragraph 175, you'll find this out, but there's other sources for it, too.

How the Nazi's dealt with male vs. female homosexuals and the original context of the bible scripture are not necessarily the same. Thank you for bringing Paragraph 175 to my attention. The clip is a very clear message of why we must not allow closed mindedness to continue. Homosexuals are human beings not concentration camp fodder to be dismissed or experimented on. Jesus Christ would not have been a Nazi.
