The constitutional amendment which would make same-sex marriage doubly illegal here in Tennessee is set to be on the ballot this November. Although the ACLU is challenging the measure on procedural grounds, a Davidson County judge ruled against the civil rights organization last Thursday.
The ACLU is appealing to the Supreme Court, so there is still some hope of stopping the offensive effort to write bigotry into this state's constitution.
But bigotry is all the rage in the USA. Ballot measures against same-sex marriage will appear on ballots this year in Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, Idaho and South Dakota. There are even more states currently debating marriage bans and other homophobic measures. In Ohio, lawmakers are considering a bill that would outlaw gay adoption and foster parenting.
Nice country we live in, eh? Government sponsored homophobia is one more scary thing the USA has in common with Iran.
We really need to lose some Republicans this November. And then there is the matter of Democrats, such as Hillary Clinton, who are miserable failures at leading the nation away from the Republican led path of discrimination.
