Gay

As, hopefully, all of you know, there is an new section being proposed for Amendment #2 on the "Proposed Constitutional Amendments" section of your ballot for the upcoming election. Here are the basics of the initiative -

AMENDMENT #2: FLORIDA MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMENDMENT

Reference: Article I, newly proposed section

Summary: This amendment protects marriage as the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife and provides that no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.

Sponsor: Florida4Marriage.org

Background: A Florida statute already provides that marriage is only recognized between a man and a woman. An Orlando activist, John Stemberger, organized this ballot initiative, which is the only citizens' initiative on the ballot.

Now, before you VOTE take a watch and listen to Wanda Sykes' opinion on the matter. We concur!
