Divorce Ban Pranksters To Start Collecting Signatures For 2010 CA Ballot

Last September I told you about Rescue Marriage, the prankster group that claims to want to ban divorce in California. Yesterday the state granted permission for the group to begin gathering the required 694K signatures to place the issue on the 2010 ballot.

Rescue Marriage founder (and straight ally) John Marcotte said last year, "People who supported Prop 8 weren't trying to take rights away from gays, they just wanted to protect traditional marriage. That's why I'm confident that they will support this initiative, even though this time it will be their rights that are diminished. To not support it would be hypocritical."

1. I'd sign the petition if I could.

2. "pranksters"????

This is definitely NOT the definition of prank - it's making a social statement, not causing mischief.

Prankster group. Now that's how you marginalize a group. Silly prankster kids. Tsk tsk.

3. Yes ma'am!!!

It will be very interesting to see if the supporters of Prop 8 are willing to "protect" marriage when it is their rights that are up for a popular vote.

But I think we already know the answer to that. :hi:

How will they survive, we have to think of their families pushed out into the streets.

And I also wish that I could sign that petition. In a heartbeat!
