[Durham INC] 'Anti-Gay' is offensive language

[Christine Chamberlain]

If this list-serve wants to go back on topic, I suggest you halt all discussion on the gay marriage amendment, whether it be in support of banning gay marriage or against it.

Many of you have made offensive remarks that don't belong in a homeowner list serve.  Your offensive remarks are what spurred me to speak up in the first place.

STOP the discussion of anti-gay marriage, period.  The letter you sent had no business being sent in the first place.

Joshua, Please refrain from describing those who differ with your opinion on gay marriage as anti-gay.  It is offensive.


Personally, I am NOT anti-gay.  I am anti-gay marriage, I am NOT anti-gay.

Subject: [Durham INC] Anti-Gay Amendment to be on Ballot in May

I
 know we are done debating the topic, but I just wanted to update 
everyone on where the amendment stands.  It passed both houses of state 
congress with the 3/5th's majority it needed.  So the amendment will be 
on the ballot -- in the Republican primary -- in May!  So this amendment
 is clearly going to pass.
I do see a few silver 
linings: The amendment only got 30 out of 50 votes in the senate, the 
minimum it needed to pass.  1 vote would have made all the difference!   The Republicans are so uncertain that the amendment will get a majority vote that they scheduled it for the May Republican Primary, when few 
Democrats will go the polls, all but ensuring passage of the amendment, 
which needs a simple majority to pass.  This shows that they are scared 
because attitudes are changing to support marriage equality.  Finally, 
the last silver lining is that court cases from other states are on 
their way to the US Supreme Court which may nullify this amendment if it passes.
