Coloradans for Marriage is a conservative, anti-gay marriage group that's trying to get a Marriage Amendment onto the fall ballot. It's a winning cause, sure. But the group doesn't seem to think marriage is that great in the first place.

    Oh-kay. That. Is funny.

  2. speedwell   20 years ago

    Wait, I thought that was the Evidence for Intelligent Design list.

    Equally sparse would be a page entitled "Reasons why letting two people of the same sex get married would endanger the institution as we choose to define it."

    Fear, bile and animus - those are the only grounds for their argument.

  4. joe   20 years ago

    Wouldn't efforts to limit the number and type of marriages the government recognizes make you "anti-marriage" more than "for marriage?"

  5. Alan Vanneman   20 years ago

    OK, maybe there isn't anything great about marriage. But the director's blog is coming soon, smart ass!

  6. Native NYer   20 years ago

    Isn?t that the same number of states that passed laws allowing medical marijuana? I guess opposition to gay marriage really is a fringe issue.

  7. Steven Andrew Miller   20 years ago

    Wow, they haven't finished putting together their website.... thank God DailyKoss was all over that!

  8. Rick Barton   20 years ago

    thank God DailyKoss was all over that!

    DailyKoss never really finished putting together their own website. Not intellectually that is...

  9. Rick Barton   20 years ago

    Being a Coloradan myself, I'm considering launching a counter group just to tease em...

    Coloradans for out of wedlock unprotected sex with many announamous partners in a consequence free environment

  10. Rick Barton   20 years ago

    ...with proper spelling that is: Coloradoans for out of wedlock unprotected sex with many anonymous partners in a consequence free environment

    (the Preview button is for wussies)

  11. John C. Randolph   20 years ago

    Anyone remember "Ladies Against Women"?

  12. Stephen Gordon   20 years ago

    We've got the screenshot up at HoT. The nitwits still haven't caught on.

  13. Jack   20 years ago

    How about banning Gay divorce? That'll fix 'em.

  14. Stephen Gordon   20 years ago

    At well over 24 hours, they still don't get it. Don't they have people who monitor their web traffic?
