California To Get Rid Of Marriage
Why is it that I am not surprised at the tactics that Gays and Lesbians will go to force the idea of Gay marriage on the nation. On November 4, 2008 the voters of California passed Proposition 8 which states:

This is not the end of the arguement. The supporters of Gay marriage are not going to take that lying down. They have a new tactic. Get rid of marriage. No I am not joking.
California's top election official says supporters can start collecting signatures for a proposed ballot measure to strike the word "marriage" from all state laws.Domestic Partnership is not the same as Marriage. In a partnership, one can just leave the partnership without legal recourse. In a Marriage it takes a divorce to dissolve it. One can have multiple partners in a Domestic Partnership.

Changing the name of Marriage to Domestic Partnership is just a bad idea. Sphere: Related Content
