Banning the expression of someone else's beliefs is worlds different than just holding an opposing viewpoint ... And I don't think it's inconsistent for someone who doesn't support gay couples marrying (on religious or other grounds) to also oppose amendments banning it. America is supposed to be land of the free right? Why shouldn't gays, gay friendly supporters, priests, etc. be able to have and exercise their beliefs too? Ate they not citizens?

One can see that Nation For Bigots aka Nation For Marriage aka NOM is still posting one hate video after another. At least when this hate group shuts down when the big money people realize that the battle is lost, its members will be able to find a compatible home in the Ku Klux Klan.

THERE IS NO "RIGHT" TO VOTE ON OTHER PEOPLE'S BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS.

Julian Bond, chair of the NAACP said:
Black people, of all people, should not oppose equality. And that is what gay marriage represents. It does not matter the rationale -- religious, cultural, pseudo-scientific. No people of goodwill should oppose marriage equality. And they should not think that civil unions are a substitute. At best, civil unions are separate but equal. And we all know separate is never equal.

Coretta Scott King said:
"I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people and I should stick to the issue of racial justice... But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King, Jr., said, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere' ... I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream to make room at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people."

Put bigotry on the ballot, and it will win every time. Few things are harder for people to resist than an opportunity to deprive others of what they themselves are free to take for granted.
If racial integration and women's suffrage had been left up to "the people" in previous decades, we'd still have "restricted" neighborhoods, "colored only" drinking fountains, and a nonvoting female population.

@TheDukeljk actually the courts have ruled time and time again it is a right, and gays want equal rights, despite what you anti gay "people" "think"

@TheDukeljk actually no they are not, despite what you may "think"
Minnesota will be the first state to not vote for this. Our legislature has failed us by even allowing this stupid question on the ballot. How dare I or you vote on a right of a minority group? What the hell...

Protect marriage from what? Divorce? No. Domestic abuse? No. Child abuse? No. Barren couples? No. Adultery? No. Gold diggers? No. Marriage for a green card? Creating a law that reduntantly bans same sex marriage does not make fags go away, and it doesn't make gay relationships dissolve. There will be just as many gays after the amendment as before. It just makes the proponents look scared and sad.
