Earlier this week Jeremy Hooper over at his gay blog Good As You, was whooping and hollering about the VICTORY the gays had in not passing an “anti-gay” marriage amendment.
Well, he spoke too soon, and even admits that he gloated too soon (YES he did) because on Friday (that would’ve been yesterday) Arizona had enough votes to put the proposed marriage amendment on the ballot. Here’s the story. And a great quote from the article:
After the vote, conservative activists rejoiced that voters would get a chance to vote on the issue this fall. A similar measure, which also banned governments from offering benefits to employees’ domestic partners, gay or straight, failed at the polls in 2006.
“This is a good day for the people of Arizona,” said Cathi Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy. “The people of Arizona will be able to decide the definition of marriage rather than the courts or the politicians.”
But wait, there’s also more. Why did Jeremy Hooper write California when he was clearly talking about Arizona? I left a comment pointing out the error…because I could. Here’s Hooper’s mistake…
That’s because the cruel and mean-spirited anti-gay constitutional ban that the California Senate turned away on Wednesday? The one whose failure we oh-so-happily celebrated? Yea, well, that same bunch of legislators reconsidered and decided to pass the measure on Friday evening:
And just because Hooper has a really BIG ego, he’s begging his readers to go and vote for him at this site that has nominated him for their award. I went over and voted for someone else, just because I could. And I’m asking you to do the same, it doesn’t matter who it is, just don’t vote for Jeremy
