The voters in blue-state Maine yesterday defeated same-sex marriage at the polls. This means that same-sex marriage has been on the ballot in 31 states, and the voters have shot it down 31 times.

November 4, 2009Same-sex marriage advocates just can’t catch a break
June 28, 2009Pageant officials finally figured out a way to give former Miss California Carrie Prejean the boot and install a new Miss California. Trouble is, the new Miss California shares the same view of same-sex marriage as her predecessor. Maybe pageant officials can figure out a way to give this one the heave-ho and find a [...]
Where are all the right-to-privacy nuts?
June 4, 2009In the wake of harrassing Proposition 8 donors in California, gay-rights activists are planning on publishing the names of those who sign petitions in opposition to same-sex partnerships.
A group called WhoSigned.org says it will publicize the names of people signing petitions for Referendum 71, which seeks a public vote to overturn a new expansion of [...]
A rare moment of sanity in California politics

Today’s Lebanon Democrat column: “Just who’s being intolerant?”
May 19, 2009Had Carrie Prejean won last month’s Miss USA pageant, she likely wouldn’t be as famous as she is for not winning it. Prejean, representing the state of California, has gotten a lot more airtime than the eventual winner. I honestly can’t name the winner. I could look it up, but it doesn’t really matter.
What does matter is [...]
More left-wing intolerance
April 21, 2009Michelle Malkin reports that “Gossip blogger/barrel-scraper Perez Hilton was a judge at the Miss USA pageant last night. He asked Miss California, Carrie Prejean, whether she supported legalizing gay marriage. Prejean answered respectfully that she disagreed with the legalization movement, but supported states’ rights to put the question up for a vote. She was booed. [...]
Same-sex marriage advocates once again reveal their intolerance
April 21, 2009It continues to befuddle me that on the one hand the left demands tolerance from others for every and all manner of debauchery, but reacts with vitriolic intolerance toward those who uphold Biblical morality.
If there is a YouTube moment from Sunday’s show, it may be Miss California’s answer to a question about legalizing same-sex marriage. [...]
As I’ve said before, liberals have to use the courts to do what they cannot accomplish at the ballot box
April 3, 2009So much for “the will of the people.”
Iowa’s Supreme Court legalized gay marriage Friday in a unanimous and emphatic decision that makes Iowa the third state — and first in the nation’s heartland — to allow same-sex couples to wed.
Iowa joins only Massachusetts and Connecticut in permitting same-sex marriage. For six months last year, California’s [...]
NYT admits that, yes, Proposition 8 supporters are harrassing the other side
February 10, 2009I’m stunned that the liberal paper-of-record has actually reported this. Perhaps this really is the era of hope and change.
FOR the backers of Proposition 8, the state ballot measure to stop single-sex couples from marrying in California, victory has been soured by the ugly specter of intimidation.
Some donors to groups supporting the measure have received [...]
Today’s Lebanon Democrat column: “Dealing with the bigotry from the left”
January 6, 2009Barack Obama has created a controversy, not on the right, but on the left, for choosing Pastor Rick Warren to deliver the invocation at the inauguration. Warren is the pastor of Saddleback Church in California, where he hosted a forum for Obama and John McCain back in August. Obama has defended his choice of Warren because [...]
More controversy over Rick Warren
December 31, 2008The tolerance police continue to stir up trouble over the choice of Rick Warren to deliver Barack Obama’s inauguration prayer, with liberals worried sick over the prospect that Rick Warren might invoke the name of Christ during his prayer. These are the same people, of course, who demand tolerance from everyone else.
Evangelicals generally expect their [...]
Gay-rights activists ask court to declare the California constitution unconstitutional
November 20, 2008California’s Proposition 8, the constitutional amendment limiting marriage in that state to one man and one woman, was approved by the voters 52-48% on Election Day. Since then, the gay-rights crowd has behaved with predictable anger and rage, and now the approved constitutional amendment is headed to court where it may be struck down. Folks, [...]
Rage still fueling Proposition 8 opponents
November 18, 2008Gay-rights activists are still aflame over the passage of California’s Proposition 8, as chronicled by Michelle Malkin on her blog. And I thought the Obamessiah was going to heal our broken souls.
The GOP lost at the ballot box on Election Day, but we aren’t protesting the will of the American people
November 16, 2008Unfortunately, the left isn’t quite as gracious in defeat. Gay-rights activists continue to protest the passage of California’s Proposition 8, and are taking the brunt of their fury out on the Mormon Church. But they aren’t restricting their protests to the state of California. They are protesting from coast-to-coast. Even though liberals came away with a [...]
The party of perpetual outrage
November 13, 2008You’d think that American liberals might actually be happy for at least a short period of time since Democrats swept the national elections just nine days ago, but the rage goes on over the passage of Proposition 8 in California. Of course, you don’t see conservatives enraged over the fact that a socialist with terrorist [...]
Respecting the will of the people
November 9, 2008Opponents of California’s Proposition 8, which limits marriage to one man and one woman, are so distraught over losing at the polls that some of them are actually threatening violence against churches and those who supported the constitutional amendment. It’s the latest illustration of just how tolerant and peaceful unhinged liberals really are.
In California, of all places
November 5, 2008In California, which has already performed a number of same-sex marriages, voters have approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. Similar amendments were also approved in Florida, and in Arizona, where the amendment failed to pass just two years ago.

Viewpoint discrimination
September 20, 2007For all the talk about Christians and their intolerance, the left sure is intolerant of Christians. Despite the commonly-held stereotype that evangelicals want to force our beliefs onto others, in reality, it’s the other way around.
Two lesbian couples who were denied permission to use a church group’s seaside pavilion for civil-union ceremonies have persuaded New [...]
Intimidation
October 13, 2006Focus on the Family reported yesterday on intimidation tactics same-sex marriage advocates are using on supporters of state marriage amendments around the country.
People in Colorado, Arizona, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin are just 26 days away from deciding the fate of amendments to protect marriage.
In Wisconsin, proponents of traditional marriage find themselves [...]
A one-paragraph hit
October 2, 2006Bill Hobbs has written the best short summary of the Tennessee marriage amendment that I have ever read.
The Tennessean has a page-one story exploring the debate over the proposed amendment to the state Constitution that would define marriage as involving one man and one woman. I’ll repeat what I’ve said before: voter approval of the [...]
