![]() State, that is. This is hilarious. Read down to the bottom. With no real plan, a scattered base and well-heeled opponents, two political activists many people have never heard of are scoring unexpected victories in a campaign to roll back domestic-partnership benefits for gay couples in Washington state. Facing resistance even from within their own ranks, they've landed wins in state and federal courts, and were triumphant where it mattered most: a contentious signature count in the Secretary of State's Office that ultimately credited them with enough valid signatures to get Referendum 71 onto the Nov. 3 ballot. Larry Stickney, campaign manager for Protect Marriage Washington, and Gary Randall, his philosophical soul mate, see the tightly contested battle as one not about pension rights and sick leave but as their last chance to protect traditional marriage in Washington. From dissimilar backgrounds, the two preach that unchecked "special rights" for gays are taking the state and nation down a wrongheaded moral path. They are unflinching in that conviction, despite messy personal histories that challenge their claim to the moral high ground. The twice-divorced Stickney, a 51-year-old construction worker turned conservative-political activist, has denounced as blatantly untrue allegations from an ex-wife that he abused her. |

You are free to ponder your navel, which may be more rewarding than your current pursuit. Alrighty, then. Barney Frank is an immoral man, and a detriment to a moral society. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

You have as much right to judge them as they have to judge you. This is America. |
