Group Pushes For Amendment To End Mass. Gay Marriages
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/06/061605massAmend.htm

A conservative citizens group announced on Thursday it was organizing a grass roots effort to put an end to same-sex marriage in Massachusetts and prevent the state from legalizing civil unions.

The group, a broad coalition of the Catholic Church, rightwing political action groups and conservative lawmakers, said they did not believe the legislature would move forward on its own.

Last year state lawmakers approved a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in the state but it needs a second approval in this session. Although it is scheduled to come up this fall its future is uncertain. If it should pass the issue would go to voters in 2006.

1. Lending credence to this recent post on AMERICAblog
that states the Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled some Christian Right Organizations as Extremist Hate Groups.

Pass the word near and far.

3. The freeps discovered this revolting development, too...
...and started a thread of their typical snide remarks, put-downs and pathetic attempts at humor.
