Here it is. This one is really, really going to give gay couples benefits. She means it this time. No, she really does.
---"Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution, nor the constitution of any State, shall be construed to require that marriage or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon any union other than the union of a man and a woman.''---
Is there any big difference between this and the original FMA? I guess if you turn your head sideways you can find a difference. However, that "shall be" and "legal incidents thereof" are still the two grenades which will be launched against civil unions and partnerships.
I guess now the media will froth at the mouth about Marilyn Munster's painstaking sacrifice and how noble she and all the rest are. I just hope that enough people still vote against this. I know many Republicans will bail out, but I hope the Dems can stay strong.
