Yep here in the great (pfft right) state of Wisconsin theres a proposal to amend the constitution that would BAN gay marriages. I found this out in Church the other day (out of intrigue and interest I go) and not surprisingly they're encouraging parishoners to sign a petition to help with the ban. After the mass I told my grandma who I was with at the time that I'm not signing it because I actually dont give a shit what others do. She said I SHOULD sign it and her argument against gay marriages was.......................its disgusting. I think this marriage amendment is a load of fucking shit. Why the Hell does the state have the right to meander in other people's lives? Discuss this pathetic abuse of power.

I also find it disgusting that institutions want so much power over the lives of ordinary people, I also can never think of a reason why Govts. feel they need so much power. Can anyone enlighten me as to why institutions such as the vatican and the US govt. want so much power?

Well, we still can vote this fall. Despite the fact that the amendment will almost certainly pass.
So far, about 17 states have banned it: Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Ohio, North Dakota, Michigan, Missouri, Utah, Oregon, Montana, Nevada, Hawaii, and Alaska.
There's a vote going on in Alabama right now, which will most likely pass. And further votes in Wisconsin, South Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia will be conducted this November.
In some ways though, I think this will mobilize queer activists even more. Shitty as it sounds to say that more repression will lead to better results, I think that it will.
With an increasingly hostile general populace, queer people may find themselves increasingly tied to revolutionary means to stop the root of the oppression: at the top, particularly with the Church.
Unless I'm just totally wrong. Any queer activists here that can lend some insight?
You know...this may actually lead to the abolition of marriage in general. Gays will be openly couples (there can't be a law against that) and soon, heteros might abandon marriage to lead this not-iron-fisted life.

That's probably not a bad idea. It would force people to either sign it again or the signatures would be lost.

My state banned gay marriage and civil unions with an 81% approval or something.
"We are now becoming a mass party all at once, changing abruptly to an open organisation, and it is inevitable that we shall be joined by many who are inconsistent (from the Marxist standpoint), perhaps we shall be joined even by some Christian elements, and even by some mystics. We have sound stomachs and we are rock-like Marxists. We shall digest those inconsistent elements. Freedom of thought and freedom of criticism within the Party will never make us forget about the freedom of organising people into those voluntary associations known as parties."

Are you sure it's in November? Cause then I'll be able to vote, probably one of the only times I'll do so.
It really pisses me off how some people from my state brag about how Wisconsin is so "progressive" but we have the most racist police force in Milwaukee, in fact, Wisconsin is ranked as the absolute worst place to live if you're African-American. Madison loves to calim how 'multicultural' it is, but it's 85% white. Really, its a state filled with volvo-driving yuppie pseudo environmentalists who don't really give a shit about others in the world unless its fashionable to do so. And up north you have widespread poverty (not to mention extreme homophobia and racism).
That's my rant.

On that note, where the hell are you guys? Let's get busy.

I think we should work on creating an ARA chapter here. The closest one I believe is in Chicago.

Murder the freaking government, and bomb those stupid churches.
in a verbal and protesting way of course, not real TNT or anything.....
Gay, bi and straight and all others need to make some noise about this.
Start a riot or somthing.
There's one being formed in Milwaukee from the folks involved in the June 3rd thing, and I'd like to get one going in Madison as well.

My state proposed an anti-gay marriage ban, but thankfully it didn't make it out of the state legislature to make it on the election ballot.

They had amended the Georgia state Constitution to ban it in '04 but a month ago or so a Georgia Supreme Court Justice overturned it as breaking the State constitution. It wasn't on any civil rights basis or anything, though, it was something petty, if I remember correctly, to many things to vote on on one ballot. Probably will just revote on it in that case.
