The State Senate considered and rejected a constitutional amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman. The only way to deal with that would have been to start the amendment process. I truly believe the Court would have respected that and would not have taken the case back and changed its decision. I think that would have been the healthier way to go. I have absolutely no problem with people making medical, funeral, or inheritance decisions.
People do that now.
I'm not against that. But the people were very clear in saying that we don't want gay marriage and we don't want the institution of marriage to have a counterpart. The new law is very deceptive because it attempts to be marriage only they use two or three different words so that it is just a little different and is separate but equal. Approximately six Town Clerks have indicated that they will refuse to issue civil union licenses to gay and lesbian couples. Divorce and remarriage run counter to some religions.
