Arizona Proposition 102

In a few weeks we're going to be voting on which we fear less: black people or the elderly.

But we're also going to be asked, while we're there in that decrepit middle school gym, to vote on things that sound pretty important, but not important enough to research. These are called "Propositions", and they're put at the bottom of the ballot.

But I wanted to take your attention to proposition 102, an amendment to the Arizona Constitution to make same sex marriage illegal, even if a federal law or court eventually rules otherwise.

Now, this blog is not designed to tell you how to vote (yet), but with all the misleading billboards, attack ads, and and TV spots one of the fundamental issues of this bill has been overshadowed. Whether this is intentional or simply an oversight I'll leave to you, but I think it's important that every Arizonan voter knows the following:

Voting No on Prop 102 makes you gay.


Proponents of this legislation added a clause into the bill which states:

"to vote against a ban on same sex marriage is to imply that the voter (the homovoter) is totally queer and must begin openly gay and gay-like activities immediately."


Know the facts and make an educated vote.
