South Florida Sun-Sentinel‘s editorial board ain’t feeling conservative efforts to ban gay marriage:
Let’s call this proposed state constitutional ban on gay marriage exactly what it is: unneeded, divisive, and a transparent attempt to get out the ultra-conservative vote.
And it’s also one gigantic example of overkill. Florida law already forbids gay marriage…
…
You have to wonder what Florida4Marriage and other such groups are afraid of. And what are they trying to protect us from? If they really are concerned about the sanctity of marriage, let these groups do something about the divorce rate – that’s a much bigger threat to marriage than two gay people in love.The Florida Constitution should not be the place for zealots to turn to when they want to advance their cause.
No constitution should be, for that matter…
