Let's hear it for LOUISIANA

Another stunning victory for the Christian Right today as Louisiana overwhelmingly voted to change their state constitution to prohibit Same Sex Marriages AND Civil Unions.

 

A few weeks ago I started a discussion along the lines of "Homophobia is Sweeping the Country"

 

Some agreed with me - most did not.

 

Well here today we have more proof. Asscroft and his ilk must be dancing a jig. The clock is ticking but it ain't ticking forward guys, it's ticking backwards and before we know it the calendar will read 1960.

 

Hate to be pesamistic but it's going to get a lot worse before it gets any better. But don't dispair. Those wanting to tie the knot can always do it during one of their many trips to Montreal. Only problem is - when you get back home, it ain't worth shit!

I think that this vote may hit the courts before it really counts. The most liberal part of the state, I hear, is New Orleans. And in that city, the men who were supposed to drive the voting machines to the polls did not turn up for work. A lot of the people who went to vote early in the day got turned away. Then, when the machines did turn up, the government tried to get the word out that in those specific precincts only, the voting would be extended past the regularly closing time, but only for those people who were in line at closing time. Yep, sounds like the courts and a new election to me!

Sounds like Louisiana has taken the crash course "Elections 101"

that uses Florida election practices as it's guide.
