What Are the Chances? California's Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

It's difficult and downright painful for many of us to fathom how Californians could, by vote, repeal the hard-won right of gay couples to marry. The anti-gay marriage amendment is obviously a reality on the November ballot. And in a recent blog, Tom Head (About.com: Civil Liberties) discusses some poll results on this issue -- and also what Arizona's vote on its own amendment might mean for our Constitutional future.

Tom also compiled a set of cogent rebuttals to the conservative AFA's Ten Arguments Against Gay Marriage. Lists like the AFA's speak to such a dramatically different world view than the one to which I ascribe, I have to re-read passages to make sure I'm seeing them clearly. It's difficult to address morality-based assertions when the issue, as I see it, belongs in the realm of civil rights.

But see for yourself some of the prevalent arguments of anti-gay-marriage groups -- and the counterpoints Tom provides in response @  What Are the Chances? California's Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment
