Comments on: Iowans Not Calling for Anti-Gay Amendment http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/09/21/14775 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Wed, 22 May 2013 14:56:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Christopher Waldrop http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/09/21/14775/comment-page-1#comment-50172 Christopher Waldrop Tue, 22 Sep 2009 11:51:26 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=14775#comment-50172 Burr asked, "So why do more than 8% of them give a sh*t enough to still vote against it?" It's a fair question, and I think it's also possible that some of the 8% who've seen an actual change as a result of same-sex marriage are people who've finally been able to marry. In other words some of the 8% who've seen a real change in their lives could see a positive change in their lives. Burr asked, “So why do more than 8% of them give a sh*t enough to still vote against it?”

How about letting gays and lesbians keep the right to enter into a legally binding commitment? I don't understand how the right to vote on other people's civil rights trumps those civil rights. “I think all of the candidates are going to state that they believe the people ought to be given the right to vote on a constitutional amendment.”

"The overwhelming majority of Iowans - 92 percent - say gay marriage has brought no real change to their lives." So why do more than 8% of them give a sh*t enough to still vote against it? Other than the fact that they're a**holes, that is. Forgot this number..
