| Can the anti-gay marriage amendment be killed in a procedural vote?
Inquiring minds (well, political junkies and marriage equality activists) want to know: will proponents of marriage equality push for a procedural vote to kill the anti-gay marriage amendment slated to be debated at the July 12 Constitutional Convention (ConCon)? As the ConCon approaches, speculation has mounted that supporters of marriage equality will try to kill the VoteOnMarriage.org-sponsored amendment through a procedural maneuver. In public remarks on the prospect of victory on an up-or-down vote on the amendment, Arline Isaacson, co-chair of Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus (MGLPC) and the MassEquality coalition’s lead lobbyist, has been consistently pessimistic (see “Words of Wisdom,” page 16). Votes from 151 lawmakers are needed to kill the amendment, which seeks to put…continue reading at Bay Windows |

Americans closely divided over constitutional marriage ban
A new poll by the Gallup organization shows that as a proposed federal constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage heads to the full U.S. Senate for vote on June 6, Americans are closely divided on the proposal. Asked whether the Constitution should be amended to define marriage as a union only between a man and woman—a move that would preclude states from sanctioning same-sex marriages—50% of Americans say they would favor such an amendment, while 47% are opposed….continue reading at Advocate.com

Intersex Community Marriage Issues Forum
via Temenos: the progressive lesbian, gay, bi, trans, & intersex
(LGBTI) community online.
As the debate over marriage for gays and lesbians grows, many within the intersex community are watching it with a mix of anticipation and dread. While many within the intersex community identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual, many others identify as heterosexual and may believe the issue doesn’t affect them. While we all hope that is the case, it may very possibly affect the entire intersex community with unintended consequences if we are not cautious and proactive in this debate. One of the big unknowns in this debate is how one man-one woman for the sake of marriage will be defined in any legislation that will be introduced seeking to bar marriage for gays and lesbians. At this point, this little, yet significant detail has not yet been discussed.…read so much more
