Over the weekend, supporters of the proposed constitutional ban on same-sex marriage launched a signature drive at churches across the state. They must collect more than 65,000 signatures before Nov. 23 for the question to qualify for the 2008 ballot, but its sponsors hope to gather double that number to protect against a challenge.

Former Boston Mayor Raymond Flynn, one of the petition's chief sponsors, said church officials have an obligation to ''speak out on important issues in the civic arena.''

''The marriage petition is not against gays but for children,'' he said. ''We believe that a loving family with a mother and a father is the best environment for children to be brought up in.''

For children? Ok that's just stupid. How is a ban on marriage between adults have ANYthing to do with children? "The children" don't get married. "The children" don't choose who their parents are. And most children have little or no say about the marital state of their progenitors. Raymond Flynn is obviously demonstrating just how much of a retard a politician can be with this remark.

Want to help "the children"? Fine here's a few good ideas on how to REALLY help "the children":
- Better immunization awareness
- Better schooling
- Better after school care
- Better school lunches
- Safer neighborhoods
- Cheaper and more available medical care
- Elimination of bullies and bigotry

Face it moron, adults will have children regardless of when and where and how and if they ever choose to get married to someone else. Since I've never heard of a child getting murdered or abused by a same-sex parent I really don't see how eliminating same-sex marriages is "better".

Wake up fucktard no one buys that shit other than people who are so stupid they shouldn't be reproducing in the first place. If you don't like same-sex marriages, fine - say it frightens you, or say you don't think it's fair to the majority of heterosexuals, or something that might make some sense. Don't make a meaningless emotional augment out of a valid subject. Better yet, put your efforts where your mouth is and really DO something for "the children".
