Protecting marriage from everything, including divorce: "Since California has decided to protect traditional marriage, I think it would be hypocritical of us not to sacrifice some of our own rights to protect traditional marriage even more," the 38-year-old married father of two told the Associated Press.
I think that is the next logical step in marriage protection by groups such as NOM.
Interesting argument, given that half of all American marriages -- those would be of the opposite-sex variety -- end in divorce, a statistic that overwhelms the number of gay marriages that could ever break up if homosexuals were actually allowed to marry.
Can Marcotte's campaign work? Despite the impression that all Californians do at the polls is vote on referendums, it is an uphill climb to get an initiative on the ballot if you don't have tons of money (and major out-of-state backing). Marcotte is funding his all-volunteer effort by selling merchandise that features a "Chains of Love" logo with a pair of generic safety-sign adults handcuffed together by "the bonds of love." The motto: "You said, 'Til death do us part.' You're not dead yet."

Protecting Traditional Marriage
This space is designed for thoughtful commentary on politics and media (and whatever else comes to mind). The Pajama Pundit welcomes people from all political stripes to voice opinions freely and without fear of mean-spirited attacks. He does however expect intelligent discussion -- and some understanding of proper grammar usage.
For a more detailed look at commenting, please review our Comment Policy.
Please refrain from personal attacks on authors or other users. Back up your argument with documentation (links to elsewhere on the web). This is a big sandbox -- so please play nicely with one another.
NOTE: For all of the HTML nerds out there (like me), anchor, strong (bold), em (italic) and blockquote tags work within the comment form.
