PROPOSITION BLUES
It looks like one 'worry' about 2006 has quickly dissipated.
The homophobic right has failed to put together the once dreaded ammendment initiative:
Same-Sex Marriage Foes Falter in '06 Ballot Efforts
The gay rights warchests were already being filled (about 15 million collected so far) but the 'war' would have been incredibly draining.
There were two competing amendments. Both would have cancelled existing domestic partnerships and that would be for everyone!
The certification of domestic partnerships and the attendant rights, which are the same as marriage in the state, are widely used by a variety of people other than gays and lesbians.
This would probably have doomed the props but the battle would have had to be engaged, nevertheless.
