There are three other states in the union that have GLBT issues on their ballots. Here’s a quick rundown to keep you informed.

Florida’s Amendment 2 Reads: “Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.”

6 Reasons to say NO on 2

Taking Away Benefits: Amendment 2 could take away existing benefits from all unmarried Floridians
Hurting Seniors: Amendment 2 could force seniors to choose between important benefits like sharing health care and important government benefits.
“Gay Marriage” Bait & Switch: Amendment 2 claims to ban “gay marriage” but Florida already has multiple laws banning same-sex marriage
Massive Government Intrusion: Amendment 2 puts the government where it doesn’t belong – regulating the personal relationships of Floridians
Hiring Expensive Lawyers: Amendment 2 could force unmarried Floridians to hire expensive private lawyers just to protect their basic legal rights
Dramatic Consequences: Amendment 2 could take away job benefits from university employees and be used as a defense to domestic violence – as in other states which passed similar amendments

Since I’ll be moving to Florida within the next year this bill is extremely important to me and I will be watching the polls in FLA closely. If you live in FLA please get out and vote!

Arizona’s Prop 102: Proposition 102, if approved by Arizona voters, will amend the Arizona Constitution by adding the following article related to marriage: “Marriage – Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state.”

Arizona needs all the help it can get. Please visit the Vote No sites, publish your opinion on your blogs, and donate if you can. When will America fully recognize our love? It’s time to get out and show the world our true colors and numbers.

Connecticut’s Question 1: Connecticut recently made the historic decision to legalize same-sex marriage. Now special interests and right-wing groups want to hold a constitutional convention to overturn the courts decision.
