Marriage in the State of Florida is a legal contract between two people and the State of Florida. Over 1,000 laws, rights, and obligations come with the legal marriage contract. Civil marriage in Florida has nothing to do with religion but everything to do with the law. All residents of the State of Florida must stand before the law as equals. VOTE NO ON 2.
It has nothing to do with discrimination against anyone, because everyone regardless of sexual orientation has the same exact rights. this amendment does NOTHING to anyones freedom or rights. It's about maintaining what has been a long standing establishment of the majority for centuries... there simply is no reason to change that now or ever.
Protecting Traditional Marriage is essential to our society. Marriage existed prior to the gov't, the gov't just recongized that union (which was already established) and chose to protect it because that is the only union that forms the next generation by nature, and is the fundimental basis for our society. Therefore, since Marriage is not a creation of the state, the state has no reason or right to redefine it. This is unreasonable and undermines the vital importance of heterosexual marriages.
Amendment 2 does one thing and one thing alone. It defines marriage. It does not prohibit the government or private companies from extending benefits to whoever they wish. The Florida Supreme Court ruled that Amendment 2 concerns the single subject of marriage and simply takes the existing state marriage law and places it into the constitution having similar effect. See, Opinion to the Attorney General, 926 So. 2d. 1229 (2006). Amendment 2 does nothing new.
