1. They join all metro newspapers endorsing against

This amendment would do serious harm. Suddenly it will be far more difficult for Texans to exercise their wishes if they decide same-sex rights merit further thought. More urgently, the referendum's language — banning anything even "similar" to marriage — in one dismissive sweep jeopardizes the safety of children in Texas' estimated 42,912 gay families.

Raised in a culture with a divorce rate greater than 50 percent, Texas' young adults have no delusion that gay couples threaten traditional marriage. In fact, national polls show that voters under the age of 25 support legal recognition of same-sex relationships by a 3-1 margin. About two out of three voters through their mid-30s support these rights.

No More Nonsense!

2. Yeah, I know but

some evil little devil in my mind wants to vote "yes", just to spit in the faces of the dumb-ass group who didn't even know how to write the vile thing.

Of course, I'll vote "no", even if it goes against my soul, to agree with the fundie ministers who are telephoning and sending postcards daily.

Too bad there aren't two "no" options. One that's "I've been a no vote from the get-go", and the fundie one, "No, cause we don't know what the hell we stand for, much less know how to write". What do you want to bet, most of them are all for home-schooling, too.

I'll tell you, if I see our neighborhood wingnuts passing out their crap when I go to vote, I'm going to tell them I'm voting "yes". Hell, I might even take a few runs into the nearby community center where there's early voting, just to get a few fundies panties in a wad. LOL
