I suppose they have a point, but it's a bit extreme. Then again, I guess that is the point.

Ridiculous. But actually a great response to those using the procreation argument against same sex marriage:

“If same-sex couples should be barred from marriage because they can not have children together, it follows that all couples who cannot or will not have children together should equally be barred from marriage.”

Just more liberal vs. conservative garbage.

If you guys wish to share your comments with these idiots, feel free to email them below. This is a bit extreme. What if you are a married guy like me and after 3 years of marriage your wife can't get prego, they now have the power to automatically annull your marriage. This is not their right to do, F**ck them.

I can't believe what I just read.

Nice "law".

I know our civil rights are slowly being taken away from us, but this crosses the line. I don't see how they could get away with passing a law like that.

And I thought California laws were absurd.

Just vote for me for president in the next election and I will get rid of all this liberal vs. conservation BS. Now I just need 5 million more votes and I will be a contender.

That'll never pass. Sounds like something you'd here of in China. However, I understand the motive behind the initative is not to actually see this passed as law, but to put political pressure for their own agenda. This should be interesting to keep track of.

Big Government at it's best.

I can see the reasoning behind the gays and lesbians.

Smart thinking.

Government needs to be OUT of the bedroom of consenting adults!

anyone who wants marriage to be legal for gays is obviously ignorant and doesn't understand what exactly marriage is.
I'm a conservative and think marriage should only be allowed between a man and a woman because it is a religious ceremony celebrating the next step in the circle of life, which is procreation.
I do however think that gays should be given civil unions so that they can get the same legal benefits a married couple can have. I just think the term marriage is being used incorrectly.

I don't think that initiative wil pass and become law, its just a display of principle based on arguement. Give them legal civil unions, but not marriage.

Ghey marriage is just a hot button issue used to heard the sheep at election time. I refuse to even address/debate it. We have MUCH bigger problems in this country that we need to focus on.

Logan, this is why I'm FOR Civil Unions! John Kerry & Howard Dean is also for civil unions but not the actual wordplay of marriage since it is a religious instituted act.

Gays & Lesbians are tax paying citizens & therefore should have a right by law to not be discriminated against.

I am a professing Christian myself, but I dont want to impose my belief system upon others who dont want to adhere.

Why want to force others to want to follow the 10 Commandments when Christians dont even do it themselves?

its the right wingers who usually resort to this tactic before each election.

Shrubya is guilty himself.

But on this article, it's the gays who are pushing this issue. It will never pass.

You are right though, bigger issues need to be addressed.
