Elections Board Again Rules Out a Gay Marriage Referendum
No surprise here, but the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics has gone ahead and rejected the latest referendum petition on the issue of same-sex marriage. This is the third time the board has ruled that a ballot measure on gay marriage will not be allowed. In an 18-page memorandum, the board concluded that an effort to suspend the implementation of the Civil Marriage Equality Act until it appears on the ballot is not a proper subject for a referendum. The legislation, which grants full marriage rights to same-sex couples, was passed by the D.C. Council and signed by Mayor Adrian Fenty last year.

If the fucking German pope eveer comes here again, we need to greet him with a mass gay marriage. Maybe the old crapper will have a heart attack.
They say breeding tells. So does where you grow up. He was born in 1928, and hasnt forgotten what he learned growing up in nazi germany
The other part of his problem is the church is all but dead in Western Europe. And dying in South America. And besides almost every country in Western Europe recognizing gay couples under the law (marriage, DP, or CU), about 15 more do elsewhere.
This is a battle which must be won. To end the existance of the monstrosity of Rome.
Which murdered uepwards of 50 million Muslims during the crusades 900-1500 AD. No wonder they hate us.
Which tortured and burned at the stake upwards of 90000 people for daring to say the pope was no absolute truth, and daring to say the earth was not flat and the sun did not revolve around the earth.
The church was also behind all the witch burnings, mostly women, during the 1000 year dark ages from 400 to about 1500. Witchcraft was a competing “religion”. And, btw, the person who accused the victim got half the victims property. The church got the other half. And guilt was often determined by throwing people in a filthy cage, and seeing if the rats and vermin went for the victim.
And the churches hatred of the Jews- no one has any idea how many were murdered from about 1000 to 1940, in pogroms etc. Being Jewish was a competing religion. Its all about power and money.
And the Catholic hitler, born/growing up in very catholic austria learned his lessons well. And he leveraged the hatred of the church for Jews to get elected, and 50 million died.
The church of life – abortion is just a smokes screen / clobber statement / what they think is a trump card to zealotize their followers – is probably, given the long life of the church, probably the worst murderer in human history.
Andd despite the good they do do now, they still need someone to hate.
