John Mccain Flip -flops, Equivocates and Then Lands Firmly "On the Fence"
Middle-ground McCain on Gay Marriage
In yet another sign that Sen. John McCain will have a difficult time being all things to all voters this year, the Family Research Council says he needs to take a higher profile in fighting against gay marriage.
In an item labeled "Not So Straight Talk Express," the advocacy group for religious conservatives took McCain to task for not making a bigger issue out of the California Supreme Court's decision establishing a right for gay couples to marry.
FRC said McCain "has managed to keep a relatively low profile on an issue that is certain to take center stage in the general election."

California Gay Marriage
Ruling by Pro Homosexual Activist Judges Ignore the Rule of Law
CAMPAIGN FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES - News Release:
Sacramento, California – Veteran California pro-family leader Randy Thomasson, an official party in the consolidated marriage cases and president of Campaign for Children and Families, a statewide pro-family leadership organization, issued the following response to today’s California Supreme Court ruling licensing homosexual “marriages”:
“On a 4-3 vote, the California Supreme Court has destroyed the civil institution of marriage between a man and a woman, and law-abiding Americans must condemn it in the strongest terms. This arrogant judicial activism took 121 pages of contorted logic to explain and is no surprise coming from this San Francisco-based court. By bowing down to homosexual activists and the rebel city of San Francisco, the California Supreme Court has exchanged the rule of law for the rule of unbridled power to destroy all that is good and sacred. However, the terrible example of homosexual “weddings” should be short-lived. This extremely bad ruling will certainly spur Californians to vote in November to overrule the judges and protect marriage licenses for a man and a woman in the California Constitution.
Churches may directly support marriage amendments or other similar legislation or initiatives, such as the abortion initiative in South Dakota. Since 1934, when the Internal Revenue Code was amended to include a limitation on lobbying activities of 501(c)(3) organizations, not one church has ever lost its tax-exempt status for engaging in too much lobbying. Contacting legislators to support the passage of a constitutional marriage amendment is considered lobbying, and such activity is clearly a permissible activity of churches. Churches should work to ban same sex marriage.
No Same Sex Marriage

Virginia Marriage Amendment
Why does Virgina need a Constitutional Amendment to ban same sex marriage?
Virginia already has legislation denying same-sex marriage, but a constitution amendment is needed so that laws on the books would be more difficult to be overturned by the courts.
Anti Same Sex Marriage ban needed in Virginia
Six states recognize same sex unions in some form. A Constitutional Amendment to ban same sex marriage is need to strenghen current Virginia laws and to make more difficult for court challenges. A gay or lesbian couple could marry in another state, and move to Wisconsin and request that their civil union be recognized. An anti ban is therefore needed.
Same Sex Marriage Becoming More Common
Connecticut in April became the first state to voluntarily adopt a statute similar to Vermont's, which allows same-sex civil unions. The measure, which was signed by Republican Gov. Jodi Rell, went into effect October 2005 and makes Connecticut the sixth state to give some recognition to same-sex couples. A similar measure was approved by Maryland lawmakers but vetoed by Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich.
In Maine, voters rejected a measure placed on the Nov. 8 ballot by a church-backed conservative group, voting instead to keep a gay rights anti-discrimination law approved by lawmakers earlier this year. Alaska's Supreme Court in October ruled that state and local governments must provide the same benefits to employees' same-sex partners that spouses get.
California's Legislature broke new ground Sept. 6 when it became the first legislative body in the United States to pass a bill legalizing same-sex marriage without a court order. Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the measure, however, saying he would rather leave it up to the state Supreme Court to decide whether California will allow gays and lesbians to wed.

Anti-Same Sex Marriage, why the Alabama Legislature passed the Constitutional Amendment
Tennessee Marriage Amendment
Gay weddings became a national issue in 2004, starting in San Francisco when Mayor Gavin Newsom opened the city's wedding registry to gay couples. Gay weddings were performed in Oregon New Mexico and New Paltz, N.Y. Then a shocking ruling from a liberal court ruling in cleared the way for thousands of gay marriages in Massachusetts.
Howard Bayless, chairman of the board of the gay rights group Alabama, accused the Legislature of "meddling into the lives of families. The government is deciding what our families are and what families are made of, and to me that's unconscionable."
But a member of the Christian Coalition, said the bipartisan support for the proposed constitutional amendment shows the Legislature "has heard and responded to the will of the people of Tennessee"
The proposed constitutional amendment not only is against same-sex marriages in Tennessee, prohibiting it, it says Tennessee will not recognize same-sex marriages, civil unions or common-law marriages from other states, even if they are considered legal in those states.
Vote "Yes" for the Tennessee Marriage Amendment.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
